Final Fantasy 7 Remake is coming to Switch 2, so get your pointy quiff and big sword ready

What would the Nintendo Switch 2 be without some Final Fantasy delivered especially for the new console? Slightly less interesting in the hair department, you say? Fair, but we don’t have fear that reality, because Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is coming to Switch 2 at an indeterminate date.

Yep, Cloud and his pointy quiff/big sword combo have rocked up at today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, to share that news the Remake is coming to Switch 2, though no date as to when that’ll be has been given yet.

Instead, director Naoki Hamaguchi just told us to stay tuned for more updates on FF7 Remake coming to Switch 2. There was no mention of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth coming to Switch 2 here, in case you were wondering.

So, there you go. If you don’t know what you’re in for our FF7 Remake review saw Kirk McKeand write: “Some of the changes are huge, and not entirely successful. I won’t go into details, but one tweak left me feeling like I’d been conned. And newcomers will likely just have no idea what’s going on. Characters that were fleshed out over the course of the original game feel rushed and without context – it’s like you’re expected to know who they are. It is too meta.

“While I’m excited for the next game, I felt deflated for an entire day after the credits rolled. But the journey is completely worth it. Midgar is so well-realised, the main characters are wonderfully done, and the battle system is masterful. I can see myself moseying through the entire 40 hours again. At times it felt almost overwhelming to actually be playing it – like Square Enix had made a game specifically for me. I just wish the loyalty to the source material lasted throughout. Despite that, there’s no denying that this is the best Final Fantasy has been in a long time.”
