Final Fantasy 7 Remake Won't Be Delayed, But Square Warns Physical Copies Might Be Hard to Get

Square Enix has announced that while the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Remake is still set for April 10, those expecting physical copies of the game might not receive the game on the day of release. Announced on March 18 on Twitter, Square Enix said that due to the COVID-19 outbreak, physical copies of the game might not arrive on time. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=final-fantasy-7-remake-29-new-wall-market-screenshots&captions=true"] "Due to the extraordinary circumstances the world is facing with the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to update you on how this will impact the forthcoming release of Final Fantasy VII Remake," the tweet reads. "The worldwide release of Final Fantasy VII Remake on April 10 will go ahead. However, with the foreseeable changes in the distribution and retail landscape which caries across countries, it is increasingly likely that some of you will not get hold of your copy of the game on the release date." Square Enix said it is monitoring the situation on a daily basis and working with its partners and retailers to do everything it can to ensure as many as possible can play the game on April 10.

Amazon Video Games also tweeted the following, 13 hours before the Final Fantasy 7 Remake announcement: "Some of our customers may have received a message that states the release date has changed on Final Fantasy VII Remake. The release date is still slated for April 10, 2020."
