When Can We Expect the Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo ?
Square Enix has penciled in Final Fantasy VII Remake for release on March 20 next year, which would align with putting in the prep work for a demo launch sometimes in the next three months. Given that listings tend to appear shortly before an announcement or release, we shouldn’t have too long to wait.
Demos are somewhat of a vestige of a bygone era in gaming where publishers would regularly hawk trial versions of their upcoming games. Gamers of a certain age will fondly remember a time when you’d look forward to picking up the latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine. It invariably included a disc with an odd dozen demos for the hottest future releases.
The original Final Fantasy VII had its own share of demos in the lead up to release, which makes all this rather fitting.
