The game just received its announcement trailer during September’s State of Play. The plot of Rebirth follows the event of the Final Fantasy VII Remake that came out in 2020. The developer Square Enix aims to spice things up even more with this trilogy, as it seems to have expanded on the plot and gameplay elements drastically when compared to its 1997 version. Let’s take a look at everything that has been uncovered about the game so far.
