Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Junon Episode Release Date

The Junon episode section of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo isn’t available until February 21, 2024, on which players will receive an update if their PlayStation 5 is connected to the internet. This update will unlock the Junon episode.

The Junon episode takes place later in the game than the Nibelheim episode that was made available on February 6, 2024. It allows players to explore a condensed portion of the Junon region via chocoboback.

According to the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo page on the PlayStation Store, the Junon area “has been altered to make the content more compact, so progress cannot be carried over to the full game.” However, you will be able to carry over your Nibelheim episode progress if you complete it by the time FF7 Rebirth releases on February 29.
