VII Remake to April and Avengers to September
Well, it sure is a lively morning!
Directly following the confirmation that Nintendowould show off the nextSmash UltimateDLC characterlater this week, Square Enix actually has a pair of delays for us, and they’re quite significant.
TheFinal Fantasy VII Remake, which has been delayed hand over fist, just got hit with another postponement. Instead of June 07, 2025, the game will now arrive on June 29, 2025. It’s a short month-ish delay for sure, but Square Enix is taking it very seriously given the panic it could cause.In a statement on Twitter, the publisher notes that this is a “tough decision,” and will allow them “a few extra weeks” for polish. Sure. This is a monumental release, take all the time you need. In fact, delay it into 2022 and give us the full game instead of just the Midgar portion (insert Fozzie Bear laugh here).
But there’s another delay too! Square Enix also confirmedon theAvengersblogthat it would not make its May release window. Instead, it has been pushed back to September 2020, with “fine tuning and polish” also cited for the delay. This huge push makes even more sense, as the overlords at Marvel and Disney likely have more demands for their precious IP than Square Enix would with their own property. Plus, they get to show it off yet again at E3: win-win.
