Final Fantasy is one of the most legendary franchises in the history of video games and, specifically, its seventh instalment is the most highly rated by the vast majority of players who have been able to enjoy its incredible adventure. Since 2020, Square Enix has been reimagining the series with spectacular graphics and a story which, whilst following many of the events of the original game, also diverges from the central plot to add fresh surprises to what lies in store for Cloud and company in this trilogy, which is now drawing to a close.

With Final Fantasy VII Revelation now officially unveiled and a release expected in spring 2027, the conclusion of this epic story is drawing ever closer, marking a complete shift from the strategy Square Enix had in the project’s early days. Whilst the project was initially conceived as a PlayStation console exclusive, the Japanese firm has ultimately changed course so that a greater number of players can enjoy one of the most impactful adventures of the last decade in the video game industry.

And this is precisely where the Nintendo Switch 2 comes in. In 2020, it seemed impossible that a Nintendo Switch could host a title like Final Fantasy VII Remake, but the arrival of Nintendo’s new system has completely changed the game. Nintendo Switch 2 is the console everyone wants to be on, and Square Enix has already released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the middle instalment of the trilogy, so that players of the hybrid console can enjoy one of the most demanding games of the current generation before taking the final leap to complete the trilogy next year.

The world of Final Fantasy VII wherever you want

One of the major advantages of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the ability to play the game wherever and however you like. The Japanese brand’s console offers a wide range of possibilities, whether you want to push the hardware to its limits in TV mode or simply enjoy one of the best titles to hit the console wherever you like, given its portable nature. It is games like this that could well define the benchmark for the Nintendo Switch 2 in terms of technical demands, one of Nintendo’s key objectives for this generation to significantly surpass its predecessor.

Questions regarding how Final Fantasy VII Rebirth compares to the native PS5 version are obvious and, naturally, one cannot expect the same quality in terms of resolution or environmental detail to accommodate the system, but it more than delivers an enjoyable experience without major glitches or performance issues, something that would have been completely impossible on the first Nintendo Switch. With this, the Kyoto-based company demonstrates that it has created a console capable of overcoming the obstacles of the past and fully prepared to shoulder the weight of the major releases hitting the market from some of the industry’s most powerful companies.

Nintendo Switch 2 will bring the Final Fantasy VII trilogy to a close on the day Revelation launches

The promise that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 simultaneously with other platforms next year marks the culmination of this commercial and creative partnership. For players, this means an end to uncertainty and the chance to complete an odyssey that began years ago without interruptions or release date discrepancies. Nintendo has succeeded in ensuring that its new console is not seen merely as a device for its own franchises, but as the definitive home where the greatest RPGs in history can coexist. If Rebirth has been the litmus test demonstrating the power and adaptability of the Switch 2, the arrival of Revelation will serve to establish it as an undisputed benchmark in the sector, closing a virtuous circle that benefits both Square Enix and the millions of players who hope to see, at last, the final destiny of this legend.

Beyond the purely technical, this commitment to the Nintendo Switch 2 recalibrates Square Enix’s future expectations. By integrating Rebirth into the console’s catalogue, the company not only reaches a vast and passionate player base, but also ensures that the conclusion of the trilogy, the long-awaited Revelation, becomes a universal event. The strategy is clear: to ensure that the story of Cloud Strife, Tifa, Aerith and company becomes a cornerstone of the platform’s catalogue for years to come. It is a masterstroke of marketing and cultural preservation; by uniting player communities under a single gaming ecosystem, Square Enix ensures that the legacy of Final Fantasy is not diluted by hardware limitations, but rather multiplied thanks to Nintendo’s versatility.

Undoubtedly, it is a decision that will give even greater momentum to the conclusion of a story that has spanned more than a decade since its initial release. 2027 will mark the 30th anniversary of the original release, which never made it to a Nintendo console — yet the saga will now reach its conclusion while giving everyone who owns a Nintendo Switch 2 the chance to enjoy it from the very beginning, in the best possible conditions.
