We heard it was coming, and Sony says it’s out today. Here it is. don’t download the old Remake demo by accident!
You can replay Sony’s entire video reveal now: it goes over loads of activities and regions to expect from the game, including Junon, Corel, Costa Del Sol, Cosmo Canyon, and Shinra Manor. Apparently, the game will “ultimately decide Aerith’s fate.”
Update: The demo is now live.
I kid — these blocky homages to the original game are just for unlockables and mini-games. FFVII Rebirth will have your choice of 4K or 60fps modes.
What to expect from today’s State of Play:
☄️”The latest trailer highlighting the charms of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth”
☄️”A special gameplay video showing how the game has been designed with new footage”
☄️A demo that lets you play Cloud or Sephiroth and reportedly explore the world map.
Full game’s out February 29th, stream’s embedded below!

I had to download patches manually from Lenovo’s website just last week. Looking forward to never doing that again! I’m not sure what else is in Legion Space 1.2.7, as the company hasn’t issued a changelog yet, but previous updates brought joystick deadzone and sensitivity adjustments for example. There was a new graphics driver in December.
Gary Bowser, that is — the man who was caught selling modchips for the Switch among other consoles, spent two years in prison, and will be paying Nintendo back for the rest of his life.
Former Kotaku EIC Patricia Hernandez caught up with him in this story for The Guardian, and it’s a humanizing read. It’s easy to joke about Bowser stealing from Nintendo; it’s harder to hear about his current plight.
