Final Fantasy VII Remake Could Also Come To Next-Gen Consoles

During E3 2019, Square Enix confirmed that the long-awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake will be released in March 2020. The game is currently expected to be an exclusive to Sony’s PS4, which had some gamers wonder, why should they buy the game if the PS5 is expected to be released in the near future as well?

This means that they’d need to load up the PS4 just to play the game, which can be a bit troublesome just for a single game, but the good news is that the game could be going cross-gen. During an interview with Game Informer, Square Enix’s President and CEO Yosuke Matsuda hinted that the game could be launched for current-gen and next-gen consoles.

According to Matsuda, “It’s the hottest topic at the moment and we thought you might ask us that. I believe that our teams have made it so that the game will support both the next generation and the current generation of consoles. I believe it is being developed so that it is going to be playable on both, so I’m not really concerned about that and I believe that the fans are also going to be able to enjoy it on both, including the next-generation of consoles.”

It should be noted that Matsuda’s comments does not necessarily mean that it will be launched for next-gen consoles, but rather the possibility is there. We suppose only time will tell if it will, but here’s hoping!
