Final Fantasy VII Rebirth date leaked?

Final Fantasy XVI was released not long ago and was an incredible success, both in terms of reviews and sales, but Square Enix never stops moving the IP that is perhaps the company's most important. A few years ago, Final Fantasy VII Remake came out exclusively for PlayStation 4 and was later released for PC, and again, it was a great success.

Final Fantasy VII is perhaps the most famous game in the franchise and is being recreated in three parts, with Rebirth confirmed for release in early 2024. But one leaker doesn't seem to want to wait for Square's goodwill to announce a date and has already put one forward: January 31, 2024. Twitter user 0AOXO , which shares leaks from the gaming industry, claims that The release date for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is rumored to have leaked.

The date of January 31, 2024 seems like a placeholder for several reasons. To begin with, many pre-order listings for games will have their release date listed as the last day of a month. What's more, Final Fantasy VII Remake was released on a Friday and its sequel is unlikely to hit store shelves on Wednesday. We are therefore inclined to believe that the actual release date could be a few days earlier, on January 26, 2024. Currently, the game can be placed on PlayStation Store wish list and no official release date has been given outside the early 2024 window.

Previously, former Reset Era member Im A Hero Too, who used to leak information about various Japanese games in development, had shared details about the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the remastering of Final Fantasy Tactics before mysteriously disappearing from the forum. According to him, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is scheduled for release in January 2024. He said that Zack is presented as a playable character and that Square Enix has only shown a small part of the game.

In addition, he mentioned that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a "massive" game, although the world map is made up of smaller zones than those seen in Final Fantasy XVI. According to him, the battle system is still "sublime". Based on your guess, about 50% of the game's story takes a completely new direction compared to the 1997 original. According to Im A Hero Too, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth isn't as "meta" as Final Fantasy VII Remake, but it's definitely taking a new direction with plenty of callbacks for die-hard fans.
