No plans for FF7 Remake port claims insider

Ever since Final Fantasy VII Remake was confirmed to be coming to the PlayStation 4, a great deal of speculation took place with regards to when/if the title would arrive on other systems. It was eventually ported to PCs however there is seemingly no sign of an Xbox/Nintendo version. According to one insider, no plans exist currently for such ports.

Industry insider Nate the Hate (also known as NateDrake) took to the FamiBoards forum to respond to one rumour which stated that Final Fantasy VII Remake is planned to be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, saying:

“FF7 Remake is not a current plan. Could it happen, eventually? Sure. Is it an active plan at this moment? No. A Switch 2 release exists in the same way an Xbox release does. IF Square wants to do it, they can & will; but no such plan exists at the present.”

In the years since FFVII Remake arrived on PlayStation there have been many back and forth rumours claiming that the title would be ported to other systems due to the footnotes of trailers claiming specific exclusivity windows and whatnot.

Additionally, Xbox’s own official social media pages have in the past slipped up and accidentally used Final Fantasy VII Remake in their promotional posts – leading some at the time to think a port announcement was imminent.

So far, none of this has come to fruition (aside from the PC release) and so it seems as though for now, you should keep your hopes in check – and maybe one day FFVII Remake will eventually be announced for Xbox / Switch.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
