What's Happening?
Square Enix has announced the release of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade & Rebirth Twin Pack as a physical edition for PlayStation 5. Scheduled for release on December 4, the pack will be available for $59.99. Previously only available as a digital bundle, this twin pack includes both Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The Remake Intergrade is set in Midgar and follows Cloud Strife as he joins the resistance group Avalanche. The Rebirth continues the story as Cloud and his team pursue their enemy, Sephiroth, outside Midgar. The games feature enhanced graphics and gameplay, with new characters and abilities introduced in Rebirth.
Why It's Important?
The release of the physical edition of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade & Rebirth Twin Pack is significant for collectors and fans of the series who prefer physical copies over digital downloads. It also marks a continuation of the popular Final Fantasy VII storyline, which has been a staple in the RPG genre. The availability of these games in a physical format may boost sales and interest in the series, especially among those who have not yet experienced the enhanced graphics and gameplay of the Remake and Rebirth editions.
What's Next?
As the release date approaches, Square Enix may open preorders and expand availability to more retailers. There is also potential for the twin pack to be released on other platforms, such as Switch and Xbox, as the trilogy is confirmed to arrive on these platforms starting with Remake Intergrade. Fans can expect more announcements regarding the availability and potential expansions of the twin pack.
Beyond the Headlines
The release of the twin pack could influence the gaming industry by setting a precedent for other companies to offer physical editions of popular digital games. It also highlights the ongoing demand for physical media in an increasingly digital world, reflecting consumer preferences and market trends.
