- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be released on 29 February.
- The original Final Fantasy 7 is considered the pinnacle of the series, so there is a lot of anticipation for the second remake of this story.
- Many fans have claimed the game is their most anticipated title of 2024.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is easily one of the biggest AAA releases of the next year. Following the first entry in the remake saga, Square Enix sold 7 million units of this new take on the beloved JRPG entry.
The saga will resume on 29 February, with Square Enix offering hundreds of hours of content in a more expanded universe. Such qualities have made Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth one of the most anticipated titles of 2024.
Why it matters: The next year will struggle to match the excellence and quality of 2023. Therefore, the new Final Fantasy entry could benefit from this dry spell in the earlier part of 2024.

The Game Awards on Twitter asked fans to share their most anticipated title for next year. This led to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth dominating the replies, arguably making it the biggest title of 2024.
One major reason for this excitement has been Square Enix’s marketing strategy. Following the release date announcement in September, the game has received extensive media coverage. This includes interviews, new screenshots, gameplay, and more.
Therefore, audiences already know much more about this game than other 2024 titles. Additionally, Square Enix recently won the ‘Most Wanted Game’ award at Golden Joystick for this remake.

Other anticipated releases include games like Tekken 8, Hellblade 2, and more. The likes of GTA 6 are also high on many lists, but this entry might not be released in 2024.
It has been over three years since the remake of Final Fantasy 7 was first released. The entry started a new era for the story of characters like Cloud and Sephiroth, taking the narrative in a completely new direction.
This approach has kept fans at the edge of their seats, leading to more excitement than usual for remakes.
Final Fantasy 16 is also expected to be available on PC next year. This should keep PC users interested in this franchise, potentially encouraging them to pick up Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth despite its timed PS5 exclusivity.
