Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is dated and detailed via the State of Play
During the recent State of Play, Square Enix revealed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second chapter of the remake of Final Fantasy 7, would be released on PlayStation 5 on February 29th, making it one of only a few games that release on a leap day. Check out the impressive new trailer for the game below.
The action-packed trailer features iconic characters Cloud, Aerith, Barret and Tifa in a sci-fi and fantasy-inspired world teeming with danger at every turn. The unlikely heroes join forces with new playable companions, including Yuffie, a member of Wutai’s elite corps of ninja operatives, Red XIII, a beast with a flaming tail who offers words of wisdom to Cloud’s party from time to time, and Cait Sith, a wisecracking, feline-shaped robot often seen poised atop his big moogle pal, to hunt down Sephiroth, the one-winged angel bent on ruling the planet.
It isn’t just into battles that the characters will be thrown, as there are also side missions and games to tackle as well. You can see some of them in the trailer and in the wall of screens below.
The game is currently only for PlayStation 5, but as the first also came to PC after a bit, there is a good chance this will as well.

There is also a special Collectors Edition, which comes with a statue of Sephiroth, but that is exclusive to the the Square Enix store. But as the store does not ship here and the local version does not have any listing for it, odds are you will never get it. Here is what it includes, if you feel like trying to get one from America.
