Square Enix Lists ‘Final Fantasy VII: Ascend the Shinra Tower’ Board Game for November Release in Japan

The Japan listing points to a broader FF7 tabletop push during the wait for the remake’s finale.

Overview

  • Square Enix opened Japanese preorders Friday for Final Fantasy VII: Ascend the Shinra Tower with a November 6, 2026 release and a 4,400 yen price.
  • The co-op game adapts Arclight’s Cat and the Tower into a dexterity challenge where players build the Shinra Building and try to get Cloud to the eighth floor without a collapse.
  • It supports one to five players, plays in about 15 to 30 minutes, and includes 20 floors, 54 walls, 24 action cards, and 24 wooden pieces.
  • Produced with Arclight Games, the set features wooden figures of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Jessie, Sephiroth, and enemies, plus rule sheets in Japanese, English, French, and German.
  • A Western release is unconfirmed, though the multilingual rulebooks make importing easier as Square Enix leans into FF7 tabletop offerings between major video game installments.
