According to Square Enix, the company is planning a demo for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade.

That news comes directly from director Naoki Hamaguchi. In a recent interview, he confirmed that a demo is planned for release by the end of the year. Hamaguchi didn’t explain what exactly will be included, but said that for “players who might still be on the fence or unsure about playing, it’d be great for them to experience [the demo] and feel the full specs” of the system.

Here’s some information about the RPG:

The first entry in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake remake trilogy brings the iconic city of Midgar to life with modern visuals, expanded storylines, and dynamic real-time RPG combat blended with strategic command over character’s ATB gauges, character switching, and selections to maximize a character’s effectiveness in battle.

In a world controlled by Shinra, a powerful corporation draining the planet’s life force, join Cloud Strife, a former elite soldier now working as a mercenary, as he takes on a job with the resistance group Avalanche. What begins as a mission of sabotage quickly escalates into a struggle that will decide the planet’s future.

This edition also includes FF7R Episode INTERmission, a DLC story starring ninja warrior Yuffie Kisaragi on a mission to steal a powerful materia from Shinra.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will be available for Nintendo Switch 2 on January 22, 2026. We’ll update this post when the demo goes live.
