Final Fantasy 7 Remake

The classic PlayStation RPG returns in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. In a unique twist on the formula, Final Fantasy 7 Remake acts as a reimagining of the original game's events, except the entirety of this first entry in the future trilogy takes place in Midgar. Acting as a sequel to the original title, Remake puts players in the shoes of Cloud Strife, an ex-SOLDIER from Shinra now making ends meet as a mercenary for hire. When Cloud partners up with an eco-terrorist group, Avalanche, he returns to Shinra to sabotage their reactors. When things go awry, and ghosts from his past begin to re-appear, Cloud will now have to face those demons head-on as fate seems determined to intervene and keep the cast on a destined path - embarking on the journey of a lifetime as Cloud and his friends race to stop Sephiroth and his hidden agenda.
