Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Coming To Switch 2 In June

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Hot off the heels of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade hitting Switch 2 (and running extremely well), Square Enix has announced the second part of the Remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is hitting Switch 2 just a few months after its predecessor finally made the leap. While Final Fantasy VII Remake focuses on the party's time in Midgar, Rebirth sees the party escape the metropolis to explore several sprawling, open biomes across the Planet. 

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth tells the story of a party not only on the run from the forces of Shinra, but also in pursuit of the powerful Sephiroth in search of answers. The vast majority of the game stars Cloud Strife and his friends, but we also get glimpses of the past through sequences starring Zack Fair. In addition to a much broader story, exploration-based open areas, and myriad evolved gameplay elements, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth adds several minigames, including the well-liked Queen's Blood card battler and a fun piano game that allows you to experiment with music or play songs from the soundtrack. 

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arrives on Switch 2 on June 3. For more on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, read our review. You can also head to our coverage hub to learn all about the making of this game.

Valheim Is Coming To Switch 2 This Year

Game Informer

The hit Viking survival game Valheim is making the jump to Switch 2 this year. The game, which first entered Steam Early Access four years ago, has gradually made its way to other platforms such as Xbox and, eventually, PlayStation, and its arrival on a Nintendo console will complete the set.  

Valheim is a procedurally-generated survival game where 1 to 10 players can build villages, hunt for food, and gather materials to tame a world inspired by Norse mythology. The Switch 2 edition retains these features, though with the added benefit of portable play.

Valehim arrives on Switch 2 sometime this year, potentially on the same day as the previously announced PlayStation 5 version

The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Arrives In June

Game Informer

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Arrives, the HD-2D Square Enix RPG is coming to Switch 2 on June 18. The game is planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and it will likely launch on those platforms on that date, as well, but that has not been 100% confirmed.

Today's new trailer for the game highlighted the various eras Elliot will explore. The Age of Safekeeping is where Elliot is from. The Age of Reconstruction is a time when humans almost went extinct. The Age of magic is when a lot of magic was happening. And the Age of Budding represents the birth of civilization.

Along with meeting new characters and exploring new locations in each era, there are also items and weapons that will be exclusive to each era.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse Brings Underwater Horrors This February

Game Informer

Square Enix's spine-tingling Paranormasight is getting a follow-up. Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse will arrive in just two weeks, on February 19, 2026.

The first Paranormasight was released in 2023, to a generally positive reception. It told the tale of a spiritual battle royale, where people tried to bring their loved ones back from the dead by emerging as the sole victor. Now, it's getting a follow-up with The Mermaid's Curse.

This new story heads to Ise-Shima, Japan and follows Yuza, a pearl diver who encounters another version of himself in the water. Several other strangers gather on the island as well, and the investigation into the supernatural starts to unfold.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse looks to have many of the same mechanics of the original Paranormasight: a flowchart of different characters' perspectives, puzzles to solve, and plenty of creepy moments to give you chills.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse arrives on the Nintendo Switch on February 19, 2026, with pre-orders beginning later today.
