Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to Feature New Episode with Yuffie

Square Enix may be looking to expand on the world of Final Fantasy VII Remake down the line, but the most recent State of Play has revealed the upcoming features that will be included in the PS5 upgrade.

Here’s a full video breakdown showcasing graphic updates as well as an episode featuring Yuffie as the main character:

Experience the city of Midgar like never before, with improved textures, lighting and atmospheric fog. Switch between the game modes "Graphics mode" which prioritises 4K high-resolution graphics, and "Performance mode" which prioritises smooth action at 60 frames per second and capture and share your favourite moments of this timeless adventure with a fully customisable Photo Mode. Enjoy immersive battles by using the DualSense PS5 controller with its hapic [sic] feedback integration.

As for Yuffie Kisaragi, while she was a character in the original Final Fantasy VII, her presence in Remake was more implied as the developers had decided to split the story with Yuffie coming in for Part II. At least now, she has some time to take the spotlight before she makes her official debut.

While the PS5 upgrade for Final Fantasy VII will come free for players who own the game on the PS4, they will have to pay extra for the Yuffie episode.

Here’s the official description for her story:

In the brand new episode featuring Yuffie, play as ninja Yuffie Kisaragi as she infiltrates the shadowy Shinra corporation to steal a powerful Materia and restore glory to her homeland. Play alongside new characters and enjoy an expanded gameplay experience featuring multiple new combat and gameplay additions. This adventure brings new perspective to the FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE story that cannot be missed.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will be available come June 10. You can find all the PS4 games with PS5 upgrades here.
