Some physical copies of Final Fantasy VII Remake are reaching their fans prematurely, but SE won't do the same with the digital version.
Rather than delay Final Fantasy VII Remake again due to the coronavirus crisis, Square Enix has decided to distribute the physical copies that millions of players around the world had reserved for them ahead of time. However, and despite the fact that the pre-download in digital format is already available on PlayStation 4, it will not do the same with this version: definitely, those who have reserved it this way will have to wait.
Digital bookings as planned
In other words, players who have reserved the game in digital format will not be able to play until next April 10th. A surprising decision, given that as we mentioned before, Square Enix began an early distribution of its physical copies throughout Australia and Europe to ensure that they would arrive on time.
"While we understand the frustration of seeing the game for sale in some territories, most of the distribution in stores around the world is still dated to arrive in stores on April 10," they have officially said from the Japanese company. . "However, changing the digital release date at this point could cause some distribution issues that would cause disruption for everyone. So we are sticking with the digital release on April 10."
With all this, he points out that Square Enix does not have the slightest intention of changing his mind in this regard, since, as he insists, this early distribution has not been for fans to have the game before time, as it has been, but so that the logical logistical problems resulting from the coronavirus crisis will necessarily delay its launch.
