Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy Announced for Nintendo Switch 2

In the latest installment of Nintendo’s *Creator’s Voice* series, *Final Fantasy VII Remake* series director Naoki Hamaguchi shared exciting news for fans: *Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade* is set to launch on the upcoming Switch 2 platform.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is an enhanced version of the 2020 PlayStation 4 title, which itself serves as the first chapter in a modern reimagining of the iconic 1997 PlayStation RPG. The updated edition features improved graphics, refined lighting effects, and includes the *Intermission* DLC—a story-focused expansion centered around Yuffie Kisaragi’s infiltration of Midgar.

Currently available on PS5 and PC, *Intergrade* will soon be playable on Switch 2 thanks to its significantly upgraded hardware over the original Switch. As Hamaguchi explained, “With the power of the Switch 2, we can now recreate Midgar with full specs,” signaling that players can expect a complete and faithful port of the game.

He also highlighted the benefits of handheld gameplay: “Being able to play this game on the Switch 2 in handheld mode means you can enjoy it on the train while commuting to work.” He added that the system's portability would make it easier for players to share their experiences and discuss the game directly with friends.

The Switch 2 version will also support GameChat, allowing real-time voice communication and screen sharing with other players—enhancing the social experience. Hamaguchi expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I’m very excited to see this game playable on a portable system,” and voiced hopes for a strong collaborative future between Nintendo and the Final Fantasy brand.

While only *Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade* has been officially confirmed for the Switch 2 so far, Hamaguchi concluded by stating, “I hope players are looking forward to the Final Fantasy VII Remake series on Switch 2.” This remark hints at potential ports of *Rebirth* and the final installment of the trilogy in the years ahead.

It’s worth noting that the *Final Fantasy* franchise originally found its home on Nintendo consoles before transitioning to the PlayStation 1 for *Final Fantasy VII* in 1997—the first fully 3D entry in the series. With this announcement, it seems the legendary RPG is finally returning to its roots, bringing the remade Midgar experience back to Nintendo hardware.
