Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Wastes No Time Coming To Switch 2
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come to Switch 2 just six months after the first game in Square Enix’s remake trilogy arrived on Nintendo’s portable console. Out on Switch 2 on June 3, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth follows Cloud and co. after they leave the first game’s Blade Runner-infused megacity of Midgar and head out on an open-world-ish adventure to find Sephiroth and save the world.
Its peaks are higher than those of the first game but its troughs are also deeper. The big question will be how well the Switch 2 can handle its much larger environments. Valve’s Steam Deck has more than struggled with the much more sprawling sequel. The game will arrive with a new “boost” mode, which I’m guessing will come to the existing versions of the game on other platforms as well.
If it’s anything like the new settings added to the Switch 2 version of FFVII Remake Intergrade, it’ll essentially be a combat god mode in which every hit does 9,999 damage and all Materia are maxed out.
