Revealed during the PlayStation Experience in 2015, the
Final Fantasy VII Remake has had fans eagerly and impatiently waiting for its release, while other fans have been wondering if the highly anticipated title will release on other platforms besides the PlayStation 4.
These are legitimate doubts for fans to have, as Square Enix has not yet revealed any other platforms and
Final Fantasy Remake VII is a little bit under a year away from releasing, with the game finally becoming available on the
3rd of March in 2020; if everything goes as planned, that is.
Today we may have some bad news for Xbox One and PC players, as Square Enix has seemingly revealed that the long-awaited
Final Fantasy VII Remake will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive title.
The information comes from IGN, who reached out to Square Enix about a video posted on Xbox Germany, which revealed
Final Fantasy VII's release date for the Xbox One; a video that was quickly removed and revealed to be a mistake on the Xbox Germany Social Team's part.
The statement from Square Enix reads as follows:
"
As previously announced, Final Fantasy VII Remake will be released for the PlayStation 4 on March 3rd 2020. We have no plans for other platforms."
Now, this doesn't mean that
Final Fantasy VII Remake will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive title forever but, if Square Enix officially states that they have no plans to release the game, it is best not to hold your breath waiting for that announcement.
