It was announced back in April that Square Enix would be bringing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to Nintendo Switch 2, but at the time it wasn’t clear when the game would be launching. Now, during the recent Nintendo Direct showcase, it was announced that the wait won’t be for too much longer, as FFVII Remake Intergrade is due for an early 2026 release—January 16, 2026. Here’s the announcement trailer:
Back in April, it was also unclear whether or not the second game in the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, would also be coming to Nintendo Switch 2. It turns out that Square Enix is planning to bring all of the trio to Nintendo’s new hybrid console. Alas, it isn’t known when Rebirth will launch, but in the meanwhile fans can rest easy knowing they’ll eventually be able to enjoy the entire story. And if all you’re interested in is the story of the game, Square Enix has you covered with a new bevy of difficulty options that will make Remake Intergrade very easy to beat. Here are the optional tweaks you can utilize:
- HP is always full – your HP is at its maximum value at all times. Even when hit by an enemy, your HP won’t go down. Instant death is also removed (sorry Tonberries!)
- MP is always full – your MP is always at its maximum value. Sling out spells with wild abandon!
- Limit gauge is always full – the Limit gauge is at maximum when you enter battle, and using powerful Limit Breaks won’t deplete it.
- ATB gauge is always full – your ATB gauge is always maxed out, so you can unleash abilities as much as you want without restriction!
- Damage dealt is always 9999 – with this set on, you’ll do maximum damage with every attack. No boss can stand against you!
That might sound sacrilegious to many of you, but again, these options aren’t required to be used.
