It originally made its debut on the PlayStation Portable in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>This new version is officially titled <strong>Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion<\/strong> and will be launching across multiple platforms including Nintendo&#8217;s hybrid system this winter. The remaster will feature updated 3D models, full voiceovers and new music arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>Square Enix further notes how this upcoming release will be a &#8220;more beautiful and accessible&#8221; version of Crisis Core, going &#8220;way beyond&#8221; a simple HD remaster. It&#8217;s unclear at this early stage how exactly this version of the game will be delivered on the Switch.<\/p>\n<p>The remaster will follow the original game&#8217;s narrative &#8211; which is Zack Fair&#8217;s mission to find the missing soldier Genesis Rhapsodos. If you&#8217;re not familiar with Mr. Fair, he&#8217;s a rather important character in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/final_fantasy_vii\">Final Fantasy VII<\/a> mythos. Without any spoilers:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;the way his story weaves into the fates of characters like Cloud, Aerith, Tifa and Sephiroth will leave a lasting impression.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And once again, this is a prequel &#8211; meaning you don&#8217;t have to have any existing knowledge of Final Fantasy VII. In saying this, the original version of VII is available to download from the Switch eShop.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture ptris\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTA2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5b4f0948247ef\/crisis-core-final-fantasy-vii-reunion.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Square Enix<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Are you excited about Crisis Core coming to Nintendo Switch? <em>Tell us down in the comments.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content]Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube In surprise news for Nintendo Switch fans, Square Enix has announced a remaster of the action-RPG prequel Crisis Core: Final Final Fantasy VII.
