There’s some room for interpretation right here, however a remark made by Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda factors in the direction of the potential of a PS5 model of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s first episode of who knows how many, which is able to focus on Midgar, hits PS4 on March 3, 2020. Of course, there’s probability that the PlayStation 5 may also launch earlier than 2020 is over, and from there future installments of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake releasing on PS4 may really feel a bit outdated.
With this in thoughts, Game Informer has requested Yosuke Matsuda the apparent query throughout E3 – will there be a next-gen model of the game?
Matsuda gave a response that, on first look, seems to be like a transparent ‘yes’, however there’s some room for interpretation and interrogation right here.
“I believe that our teams have made it so that the game will support both the next generation and the current generation of consoles”, Matsuda mentioned. “I believe it is being developed so that it is going to be playable on both, so I’m not really concerned about that and I believe that the fans are also going to be able to enjoy it on both, including the next-generation of consoles.”
There are two issues to notice right here – the usage of ‘I believe’ all through, somewhat than definitive statements, and the truth that each the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will possible be backwards suitable with earlier generations, that means {that a} PS4 game would, theoretically, be playable nicely into the long run on PS5.
Still, it’s an attention-grabbing response. Don’t look forward to finding out something extra concrete about the way forward for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake till after subsequent 12 months’s preliminary launch, although.
