Intergrade, the upcoming update to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, will not be getting any further DLC other than the Yuffie Episode.
In an interview with Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura, the creative director for the Final Fantasy 7 series, commented on the features and future surrounding Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade.
Nomura stated the following:
“Due to the nature of the upgrade system, it resulted in us having to label the new Yuffie sections as “DLC”. However, the original intent was to create a PS5 version of FFVII REMAKE and not to produce DLC. Accordingly, we do not have any plans for DLC at this time. Sorting out the development environment on PS5 for FFVII REMAKE INTERGRADE, meant that moving on to developing the sequel was much smoother. We are now prioritizing the roadmap for completing the next game, so if we do need to think about more DLC then it will probably come after that is finished.”
In addition, Nomura also clarified that players will only be able to control Yuffie. Sonon, the new character featured in the trailer, can act independently or follow Yuffie’s commands in battle. To switch between these two modes, players can press the L2 button.
Furthermore, players can also expect new materia and summons to appear in this Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade DLC episode.
Intergrade will release on June 10th 2021 for the PS5.
