Final Fantasy 7series creative director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwon’t be getting any DLC.
Speaking in a recent interview with Spanish outletVandal(viaGamesRadar) Nomura was asked about the possibility of any sort of DLC arriving afterFinal Fantasy7 Rebirthlaunches next year. To this, Nomura simply said that Square Enix is not planning anything for this installment.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakewas released in 2020 and was followed by the visually enhanced version,Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergradein 2021 forPCandPS5, which also featured DLC in the form ofEpisode INTERmission. This featured the story of Yuffie and Sonon leading up to, and coinciding with, the events ofRemake.
It’s surprising that Square Enix isn’t considering any form of DLC forRebirthconsidering not only the popularity ofEpisode INTERmissionbut because the DLC was able to explore the story of Yuffie, who will be playable inRebirth.
It was recently confirmed that Vincent Valentine, known to fans of the original 1997 game, will not be playable when he makes his debut in Rebirth. It was theorized that perhaps the developer was holding back and would present Vincent’s story in a future DLC, but Nomura’s latest comments seem to have debunked that idea.
However, it could be possible that Nomura is avoiding revealing any potential announcement, especially when you considerEpisode INTERmissionwasn’t confirmed until after the launch ofRemake. We’ll have to wait and see, but for now, there is no official confirmation.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthis set to launch on February 29, 2024, for PS5 and will pick up exactly where the previous game left off. Returning players can expect “nearly 100 hours of adventure” alongside a new open world to explore as Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red XIII, and Yuffie. You’ll also be able toplay as Sephiroth during flashback sequences. Which is nice.
