Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Remake Part 3 won’t be compromised on Nintendo Switch 2, director promises

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Remake Part 3 are set to be released on Nintendo Switch 2 in the future, and when they do launch, fans can rest easy knowing that the games won’t be comprised on the hardware.

Square Enix just came out with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on the system. The team delivered a port that’s in many ways superior to the PS4 version and on par with the PS5 edition. The next two entries in the series are bigger games, but they won’t be compromised on Nintendo Switch 2. Director Naoki Hamaguchi said a recent interview that the titles “are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms”.

Hamaguchi said:

“There’s not a huge amount of information I can share in terms of future games, but I can reassure players that we’re working on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second game in the series, and the third game too. They are being worked on for Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other platforms right now. One thing to reassure the fans who want to play these games on Nintendo Switch 2: I’ve got a personal policy where I don’t want to make any versions of my games different or offer a different gameplay experience just because they’re on different hardware. That might get confusing for players, and they might wonder which version of the game they should buy. That’s something I’d very much like to avoid. The Nintendo Switch 2 versions are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms, so I hope this reassures Nintendo Switch 2 players.”
