Square Enix’s remake of Final Fantasy VII is set to come out next month, and ahead of the anticipation, players will actually get a chance to try out the demo now.

This the official description according to the PlayStation store:

Enjoy the first chapter of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE─the iconic Mako Reactor 1 bombing mission─with this demo version.

It’s worth noting that progress in the demo won’t carry over to the actual game when it releases, and it’s still possible that there could be changes when it comes to the final version of the game.

Though there are already a lot of people excited for the release of the remake, it’s pretty great that Square Enix is giving players the chance to try out a little taste of the game for free. Then again, it’s al in the name of finding out problems with the game that could otherwise be overlooked.

Rumor has it that Final Fantasy VII Remake is actually the first of a series of games from Square, but this will still feel like a “full game” upon release. Hopefully this won’t be just a treat for fans of the original, but a nice jumping point for gamers unfamiliar with the franchise.

In Midgar, a city controlled by the mega-conglomerate Shinra Inc., the No. 1 Mako Reactor has been blown up by a rebel group, AVALANCHE. AVALANCHE was secretly formed to wage a rebellion against Shinra Inc., an organisation which is absorbing Mako energy, destroying the natural resources of the planet. Cloud, a former member of Shinra's elite combat force, SOLDIER, was involved with the bombing of the Mako Reactor. Can Cloud and AVALANCHE protect the planet from the huge, formidable enemy, Shinra Inc.?

Final Fantasy VII Remake launches on the PS4 on April 10.
