In an announcement that should come as no surprise, Square Enix has confirmed that the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake will feature both 4K and HDR support. 4K resolution will obviously be limited to the PS4 Pro, but HDR is functional on both the base and Pro systems.
I’m not sure anyone living in 2020 was anticipating the game to not have these features, but confirmation is still nice. The graphical presentation of VII Remake is polished to an obscene degree, so getting more colors and higher fidelity isn’t a bad thing. Now we can all bask in the absolute glory that is cross-dressing Cloud.
Although the release of VII Remake is far off for Xbox One and PC, 4K and HDR are basically confirmed for those versions as well. PC will likely have uncapped framerates and 21:9 support too, but that’s just speculation at this point. Needless to say, Final Fantasy VII is going to look incredible regardless of your platform of choice.
With some copies already out in the wild, it is strange that Square Enix waited until today to make this announcement. I suppose “better late than never” is the philosophy here. At least you can make the necessary preparations to get that 4K TV in time for next Friday.
