Developed by WayForward, the Konami classic is looking to make up for the crime that was Contra: Rogue Corps, and it seems

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play Streaming Next Week

Last week, we mused that Final Fight might be the most inappropriately titled video game of all time, however, on balance, Final Fantasy probably has it beat: the seventh “final” Fantasy wasn’t even the final version of Final Fantasy 7.

So much so, that we've bought all subsequent Supermassive Games - the four Dark Pictures titles and The Quarry. You can read my thoughts on them individually in my ranking list from last year.
