New Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Trailer Reveals The Release Date

Final Fantasy VIII Remaster has a new trailer out of Gamescom, revealing the release date for the upgraded version of Square Enix's beloved PlayStation RPG. You can watch it below.

 

This is the final PlayStation-originating Final Fantasy game that was yet to be remastered and released in HD, with Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX having already been updated for modern consoles.

"In a world where an ancient energy known as the Sorceress Power is passed down through generations, the peace of the realm is threatened when the evil Sorceress Edea takes power as ruler of the Galbadia Republic. Squall, a member of Balamb Garden Military Academy's elite mercenary force SeeD, other allies from the Garden, and Rinoa, a member of the resistance, join together on a journey to fight against Sorceress Edea, who shows hostility toward the Garden."

Final Fantasy VIII Remaster, which was announced during E3 this year, is due out on September 3 - just two weeks away and it's coming to PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. The title can now be pre-ordered.
