Square Enix Mostly Silent On Final Fantasy VII Remake, Shares New Art
Square Enix kicked off Final Fantasy's 30th Anniversary in Tokyo today, beginning with an event that gave fans a small taste of what the series' future holds. The focus was mostly on the coming months, delivering the release date for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, details about Final Fantasy XV's Episode Gladio DLC, and other merchandise like Final Fantasy Wine, a fashion line, and partnerships with various food companies. Square has a track record of getting ahead of itself with game announcements, but made no mention of any new Final Fantasy titles.
The company also held back on sharing new details for Final Fantasy VII Remake – believed to be the next big release for the series – but did debut new key art from the game that shows Cloud and Sephiroth looming over Midgar and the Shinra Electric Power Company.
Our Take
Fans were hoping Square Enix would deliver a release date for Final Fantasy VII Remake, or at least show new gameplay from it, but the key art does confirm it's still on the radar. The question that looms large now is what year will it release?
