Since its first release in 1987, this game has launched a game almost every year, and 2024 won’t be an exception. In the new year, players will get a new Final Fantasy game: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

This game will have real-time exploration and combat in the open world of the game. Players will get quests and side quests, along with Chocobo mounts to ride on. After watching the trailer and considering the fanbase of the series, we assume this will be one of the biggest hits of 2024.
