Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade’s Yuffie episode has been detailed
PS5 content is officially titled FF7R Episode Intermission
Square Enix has provided new details about Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade’s Yuffie episode.
Priced at $69.99/£69.99 and set for release on June 10, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a PS5 update of last year’s RPG featuring improved visuals, faster loading times, a Photo Mode, haptic feedback and new DLC starring Yuffie.
Square Enix said on Tuesday that the Yuffie episode is officially titled FF7R Episode Intermission.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS4 owners will be able to upgrade to the PS5 game for free and transfer saves from the last-gen version, though this offer isn’t available to owners of March’s PS Plus version of the title.
And the free upgrade won’t include Intermission, which will also be available for PS5 as a standalone $19.99 purchase from the PlayStation Store.
“Players can look forward to utilising Yuffie’s signature battle style in combat as she undertakes a mission to steal the Shinra Electric Power Company’s most powerful materia,” Square Enix said.
“Together with Avalanche HQ’s support, they cross behind enemy lines to reclaim their homeland’s former glory and exact revenge long in the making, Yuffie shines in both close and long-range combat.
“As a member of Wutai’s elite corps of ninja operatives, she has a unique play style which allows her to throw her iconic massive throwing star at enemies. During that time, she is able to attack with long-range ninjutsu that can be augmented with her Elemental Ninjutsu ability, which can change its affinity to fire, ice, lightning or wind.”
