Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo ‘Dawn of a New Era in Junon’ update now available

Explore the outskirts of Junon.

Square Enix has released the “Dawn of a New Era in Junon” update for the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo, which is currently available via PlayStation Store. It expands upon the previously released “Fall of a Hero in Nibelheim” demo with a preview of the game’s vast world.

Get the details below.

Junon Area Episode: “Dawn of a New Era” Unlocked
“Dawn of a New Era in Junon” is available as a free update to the existing demo and sees Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith, and Red XIII emerging into the outskirts of Junon, a fortified stronghold replete with an underwater reactor. Set several hours into the main storyline, this special preview made specifically for the demo features a small piece of the massive in-game world that players can freely explore. Sniff out treasures with a trusty chocobo steed, craft valuable items with the new Item Transmuter, bravely embark on thrilling Combat Assignment missions and more.
Now is the perfect time to download the two-part demo to prepare for the worldwide release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Players who complete the first part, “Fall of a Hero in Nibelheim,” will receive the Kupo Charm and Survival Set demo incentives and be given the option to skip the same section in the full game upon release, allowing players to get an early start on their adventure. Or if players prefer, they can choose to experience the section all over again.
Although save data from the “Dawn of a New Era in Junon” section cannot be carried over to the full game, as the content has been altered for a more compact experience, fans and newcomers can try out new forms of exploration while using powerful synergy attacks and witnessing the character bonds expressed through combat.

Additionally, a demo patch that will be automatically downloaded has been released. The patch addresses minor graphical fixes in addition to other adjustments.
Demo Play Bonus
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.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is due out for PlayStation 5 on February 29 worldwide.
