Directly relevant to Final Fantasy VII, Square Enix when ending today’s PlayStation State of Play livestreamed presentation announced that the ongoing remake will be receiving new content. In that, the firm will be welcoming a new add-on introducing Yuffie Kisaragi as a new playable character in her own unique storyline based in the same timeframe as the main game.

Additionally, Square Enix in that same amount of screen time also featured Final Fantasy VII Remake will be receiving a PlayStation 5 upgrade coming this June. The listed enhancements for the 2020 title is shared to include dense fog, reduced loading times, and improved lighting. However, it is what Square Enix revealed outside the showcase which is most interesting.

Only filings uncovered in Japan that were placed in December, there was no direct substance at the time of reporting to determine what the projects could manifest into.

Now in a new trailer uploaded on Thursday, Square Enix finally unveils Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier – a new battle royale experience aimed for mobile platforms. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:
