Yo, what's up everyone? 🌟 Square Enix just absolutely WINS the news today — after showing tons of support for Switch 2 since it landed last June, they've dropped their biggest game yet on our new handheld: **Final Fantasy VII Rebirth**! If you missed it at launch, this is Cloud and his crew's epic continuation right after escaping Midgar, taking them through jaw-dropping expansive environments with all sorts of fresh adventures — yes, chocobos return because CHOCO-BOYS! 🔥
The best part? An eShop demo is available RIGHT NOW for anyone who hasn't taken the plunge yet. It covers a generous chunk: the first two chapters from Rebirth so you can actually experience it before committing. And here's what makes this extra special — if your save data already has Remake Intergrade main story or even just an Intermission run sitting there, progression carries over into the full game at launch (June 3rd, 2026). That means all those hours you put in on Rebirth and beyond carry straight through like they never paused. Save bonuses for veterans — Square Enix isn't playing around!
Honestly, this is the kind of commitment that signals Switch 2 was built exactly for games *like* these. The eShop demo lets anyone try before it's officially out June 3rd so you can decide whether your cartridge needs one more spot in the stack (you know they do). This feels like a real contender to be THE flagship JRPG on next-gen Nintendo, and with Square Enix showing this level of support already I'm calling it now: Rebirth may very well become one of Switch 2's most-played titles within its first year.
