Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Is Now Live (And Features A Playable Sephiroth)

The highly-anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo is now available to play via the PlayStation Store. Developer Square Enix announced the demo during today's Rebirth-focused State of Play, as well as elaborated on what fans can expect from it.

According to the studio, the demo will follow Cloud and Sephiroth on the former-SOLDIERS' final mission together. Both Cloud and Sephiroth will be playable characters throughout the demo, with familiar faces--including Tifa Lockhart--making brief appearances in the infamous flashback sequence.

In addition to this announcement, Square Enix also gave fans a deep dive into some of Rebirth's new features. Most notably, the game will now contain a wide array of side quests and mini-games, dialogue options that impact your relationships with other party members, and a Folio system that grants party members new battle abilities. GameSpot covered these changes, as well as several others, in our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth preview.


Based on the studio's teases and recent trailers, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will follow Cloud and the gang as they journey all the way from Midgar's outskirts to the City of the Ancients. However, what happens at the city--and to a certain character in particular--is naturally being kept under wraps. That said, we won't be waiting too much longer to discover what fate has in store for the heroes, as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releases February 29, 2023 on PlayStation 5 exclusively.
