Square Enix has announced that the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo is now available.

The PS5 demo of the game can be downloaded HERE.

Released today is the first part of the demo, allowing players to experience the opening chapter of the game. The “Fall of a Hero in Nibelheim” demo features an extended flashback section, as Cloud Strife recalls an earlier mission in his career as a SOLDIER – “the Nibelheim incident.”

After completing the “Fall of a Hero in Nibelheim” content, a new update will arrive on February 21, which opens up another playable section entitled “Dawn of a New Era in Junon.”

Players who have save data from the demo can claim a Kupo Charm and adventuring items set that will help them when the full game arrives.

• Kupo charm: An accessory that increases the number of resource items extracted at a set rate.
• Survival set: A selection of items to aid on your adventure, such as potions and ethers.

Additionally, players who complete the Nibelheim episode can skip the same section in the full game.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is launching on February 29 for the PS5.
