The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is just around the corner, with an official release date of April 10. Some people just can’t wait, however, and have broken the street date, according to Eurogamer. Square Enix has also issued a warning, saying it can’t control when the game is released in western regions because of the various COVID-19 lockdowns.

“As you will be aware, many countries are limiting entry or closing their national and state borders and restricting the distribution and delivery of non-essential items,” Square Enix wrote in a blog post. “Understandably these restrictions are being implemented so that essential items can reach their destination as fast as possible. This does not mean that box copies of Final Fantasy 7 Remake will not be dispatched, it just means that we cannot control the date the game may arrive.”
