Much to like.
Last week, Square Enix had us all scrambling to wrap up Remake as quickly as we could, as it announced that it’ll be bringing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to Switch 2 in just a few months on 3rd June.
We only caught a brief glimpse at how the ambitious follow-up will fare on Nintendo hardware in the Partner Direct, but it was more than enough footage for the tech experts over at Digital Foundry to take a look and suss out what we can expect from a performance perspective.
