Final Fantasy VII Remake arrives on March 3, 2020

Several hours away from their E3 conference, Square Enix decided to give fans a surprise by unveiling the release date for Final Fantasy VII Remake.

The game is slated to be released on March 3, 2020, which is a lot earlier than most people expected. The remake was revealed at E3 back in 2015. During PlayStation's 2019 State of Play livestream last month, some new game footage was revealed.

With news of the release date dropping so early, fans can expect Square Enix’s conference to focus more on improvements they’ve made. The conference starts at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST.

Originally released in 1997, Final Fantasy VII became one of the greatest RPGs of all time with over 11 million units sold worldwide. Back in March, the game was ported to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
