Overview
- Series director Naoki Hamaguchi told Nintendo Everything that bringing the Remake trilogy to Switch 2 “kind of feels like fate” and reflects his personal connection to Nintendo hardware.
- Hamaguchi said Nintendo showed developers Switch 2 hardware before launch and that those specs convinced the team the trilogy could be ported despite technical challenges.
- Square Enix’s change in leadership from Matsuda to Kiryu introduced a company-wide push for multiplatform releases that aligned with Hamaguchi’s recommendation and helped secure funding for the ports.
- Hamaguchi reported the Switch 2 versions have performed well commercially and said the Summer Game Fest announcement of Revelation boosted sales of the first two Remake entries.
- The final Remake entry, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, is reported to be scheduled for Nintendo Switch 2 on April 8, 2027, and Hamaguchi highlighted a notably positive response from the Chinese gaming community to the Switch 2 releases.
