What's Happening?
Square Enix has announced the release of 'Final Fantasy 7 Remake' and 'Rebirth' as a physical double pack exclusively for PS5. The pack, available from December 4th, is priced at $59.99 and offers a cost-effective option compared to purchasing 'Rebirth' alone. The games are part of a trilogy reimagining the original PS1 classic. The double pack's release precedes the availability of 'Remake' on Xbox and Switch 2 in January, with 'Rebirth' to follow. The potential for a future triple pack remains uncertain, pending the release of the trilogy's final part.
Why It's Important?
The release of the double pack provides fans with a more affordable way to experience the first two parts of the 'Final Fantasy 7' trilogy, potentially boosting sales and engagement. The decision to offer a physical edition reflects ongoing demand for tangible game copies, despite the rise of digital distribution. The upcoming availability on additional platforms like Xbox and Switch 2 indicates Square Enix's strategy to expand its audience and maximize the trilogy's reach. This move may influence other developers to consider similar bundling strategies for their franchises.
