Here's your opportunity to try out Final Fantasy VII Remake before it launches next year.

For those Final Fantasy fans that will be attending Gamescom later this month, Square Enix has now announced some news that will surely make you pleased.

Revealed recently over on Twitter, Square confirmed that the upcoming release of Final Fantasy VII Remake will be playable at Gamescom. Those attending the show will be able to go hands-on with the title at Square’s booth. Square said that in total, it will have 72 stations that will be playing the game.

Considering that FFVIIR was already playable earlier this summer at E3 2019, this shouldn’t come as a huge shock. Still, it’s surely a relief for those who will be heading out to Germany to check out Gamescom.

Likely the only issue with playing Final Fantasy VII Remake at Gamescom is that you will have to fight off thousands of others to get your own hands on it. Even with 72 stations in total, there are tens of thousands of people that attend Gamescom annually. And if I had to guess, FFVIIR will be one of the hottest games at the show this year. It’s going to be a tall task to play the game for yourself, but I wish you the best of luck in that pursuit if you’ll be attending the show.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to launch on PS4 on March 3, 2020. Gamescom 2019 will take place in just a couple weeks from August 20-24.

For the first time in Europe, visitors can get hands-on play of #FinalFantasy VII Remake at #Gamescom2019! Across 72 stations located in the Square Enix Booth, show attendees will get their first look at #FF7R before its #PS4 release on 3rd March 2020! pic.twitter.com/kZQTimDjUX — FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE (@finalfantasyvii) August 7, 2019
