AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Square Enix surprised players by shadow dropping Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion for the Nintendo Switch 2 during the latest Nintendo Direct.
Nintendo Switch 2 owners got a massive surprise during the latest Nintendo Direct, with Square Enix shadow dropping Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion onto the new hardware. Originally brought to modern platforms in 2022 as a remaster of the 2008 PlayStation Portable classic, the game serves as an essential prequel detailing the story of Zack Fair. While the original Switch port suffered from notable technical compromises compared to other console and PC versions, this native Switch 2 edition finally delivers the smooth, definitive portable experience the title always deserved.
Beyond just running better, the Switch 2 release arrives with a temporary thirty percent discount for early adopters. It remains to be seen if existing owners will get a streamlined upgrade path, but the package still includes all the upgrades from the 2022 remaster. Players can expect a complete visual overhaul, fully voiced dialogue featuring the cast of the modern remake trilogy, a newly arranged soundtrack, and streamlined action combat that refines the original mechanics.
This shadow drop also serves as perfect timing for the community as we look toward the final chapter of the Remake trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, arriving next year. With Zack playing a major role in the unfolding alternate timeline and the new game promising open world exploration via the Highwind, revisiting his origins gives players crucial context. It is a smart move by Square Enix to bridge the gap for fans waiting on the franchise's upcoming conclusion.
