More Final Fantasy VII Games Coming to Mobile February 25, 2021

Around the same time that Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced for the PS5, Square Enix also released trailers for these two other games in the Final Fantasy VII universe. The difference is these games are coming to mobile platforms.

First up is Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis which looks like an episodic remake of Final Fantasy VII but promises to include chapters from other parts of the expanded Final Fantasy VII universe.

This next game is a prequel to Final Fantasy VII called The First Solider. Longtime fans may remember Solider as the organization Cloud claimed to belong to. Perhaps this is going to tell the story of how that organization came to be.

I must admit this is giving me flashbacks to 2005, when Square started pushing new FF7-related games and content on multiple fronts including mobile, PS2 and home video. The problem was everyone by then just wanted a remake. Now that we know we are getting remakes, I’m curious how the Internet will respond to this new campaign.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis and Final Fantasy VII The First Solider are coming to Android and iOS devices.

Final Fantasy VII REMAKE is Coming to PS5 February 25, 2021

One of the last great games released on the PS4 was the highly anticipated remake of Final Fantasy VII. Tonight, during the Sony State of Play, Square Enix revealed this new version of the game running natively on the PS5 and gosh does it look incredible.

Wait? Was that Yuffie? Yep, it was. Players who pick up the PS5 version of the game will get an exclusive new single-player expansion pack where you will be able to play as Yuffie. PS4 owners who upgrade to the PS5 can upgrade their existing game to the PS5 version at no extra charge, and they will be able to purchase the Yuffie expansion for an undisclosed price. Here’s a video about the differences between the PS4 and PS5 versions.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is coming June 10th, 2021 for the PS5.

Star Wars: Republic Commando Coming Back to Switch and PS4 February 24, 2021

One of the last great Star Wars PC games was called Republic Commando. It was a squad based first person shooter which took place just before the events of Star Wars Episode III, and told the story of a small tactical unit of clone troopers during the height of the Clone Wars. I actually got to personally preview the game at E3 2004 and was impressed by it. The game officially launched Holiday 2004 on the PC and original Xbox. While users, including myself, enjoyed it tremendously it never received a sequel or any expansion packs.

Since EA’s grip on Star Wars games have loosened, there has been a heavy demand to see more of the classic Lucasarts games return to become playable on modern gaming consoles. Have I got good news for you today, take a look at this:

Star Wars: Republic Commando is coming April 6th to PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Switches Developers February 23, 2021

I’m afraid the hardships that have been brought to the upcoming game Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 are continuing. The game’s publisher has confirmed today that it has switched developers. Hardsuit Labs will no longer be developing the game, and development of the game will continue with an entirely different studio. This has the side effect of delaying the game’s release until at least 2022. Preorders for the game will also be stopped at this time.

Never in the twenty years of me covering the gaming industry have I ever seen an announcement of this kind. While I have heard cases of game development switching hands, it has always been for unannounced games, or games that were still very early in production. This game was originally planned for its release last year, and over the past few months its lost its major leading staff. It had a preorder campaign set up with major retailers. Who knows what that means for the game’s eventual release, or if any of the footage of the game we saw up to this point will even end up in the final version of the game?

If we hear more news, we will be reporting on it. Until then, you might have to manually cancel your preorder, or move it to a different game.

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is coming in 2022.
