Update:Gamespotupdated its storyto indicate the March 3 release date for theFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Demowas an incorrect assumption on their part. Our original story can be found below.
If you wanted to try out theFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Demobefore the game itself to satiate some of your hype, it seems like you’ll have to deal with the hunger until March 3. According to our fellow journalists atGamespot,Square Enix will launchFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Demoon the PSN the same day as the full game, on June 19, 2025.
Square Enix’s strategy isn’t to give anyone a taste of the game before release but to let anyone try out the game’s first minutes for free when the hype will be maximal on release day. The day of reckoning, when every streamer and their cat will be on the game. This will push as many around the world as possible to buy the game at launch if they weren’t interested yet.
As you already know, the demo is technically already out on YouTube,as the intro and later on a whole playthrough of it leaked. More details have leaked about the game overall so you should be careful if you’re wary of spoilers.
Final Fantasy VIIis one of themost beloved games everand the first part of theRemakeis highly anticipated all around the world. While the first part of theRemakewill focus on the events in Midgar depicted in the original, theRemakeis completely different from the Midgar part in the original, which didn’t last more than 6 hours or so. While no official confirmation was shared by Square Enix, I personally believe some story elements happening after Midgar in the original game will happen in Midgar in the first part of theRemake.Part 2 is obviouslyalready in development at Square Enix., and back at E3 2019, they weren’t sure yetif Part 2 would end theRemakeor if we’ll have a Part 3.
