Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix, scheduled to release for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. It is a sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020), and the second in a planned trilogy of games remaking the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII.
As with its predecessor, the gameplay will combine real-time action with strategic and role-playing elements. Set immediately after Remake's events, players will control the mercenary Cloud Strife and a party of characters principally comprising the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, who band together to embark on a journey across the Planet to prevent the megacorporation Shinra from exploiting its life essence, the Lifestream, as an energy source, and to defeat their former elite soldier Sephiroth, who intends on becoming one with the Planet to achieve greater power.
The game entered production in November 2019 prior to Remake's release, and was announced in June 2022. All of the lead staff returned after the previous game in the same positions, with the only difference happening with Tetsuya Nomura who returns as creative director instead of director, and Naoki Hamaguchi who returns as director instead of co-director.
