Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced nearly five years ago, but with the game’s release date rapidly approaching, publisher Square Enix has decided that fans are going to have to wait just a wee bit longer for it.
Earlier today, Producer Yoshinori Kitase confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Remake would miss its planned release date of March 3 by more than a month. Now set to launch on April 10, the developer released a statement that said his team needs additional time to “apply final polish” to the game to ensure that fans receive “the best possible experience”:
We know that so many of you are looking forward to the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake and have been waiting patiently to experience what we have been working on. In order to ensure we deliver a game that is in-line with our vision, and the quality that our fans who have been waiting for deserve, we have decided to move the release date to April 10, 2020.
We are making this tough decision in order to give ourselves a few extra weeks to apply final polish to the game and to deliver you with the best possible experience. I, on behalf of the whole team, want to apologize to everyone, as I know this means waiting for the game just a little bit longer.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake is currently in development exclusively for the PS4, though Square Enix has hinted that it may appear on other platforms in the future.
