Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo updated with new Junon area and graphical fixes

Square Enix has expanded Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s demo with a new area and made visual improvements to the game when played in performance mode.

“‘Dawn of a New Era in Junon’ is available as a free update to the existing demo and sees Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII emerging into the outskirts of Junon, a fortified stronghold replete with an underwater reactor,” it says.

“Set several hours into the main storyline, this special preview made specifically for the demo features a small piece of the massive in-game world that players can freely explore.

“Sniff out treasures with a trusty chocobo steed, craft valuable items with the new Item Transmuter, bravely embark on thrilling Combat Assignment missions and more.

“Additionally, a demo patch that will be automatically downloaded has been released. The patch addresses minor graphical fixes in addition to other adjustments.”

The second game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy will be released for PS5 on February 29, 2024, on two discs, and will be exclusive to Sony’s console for a minimum of three months.
