TheFinal Fantasy 7 Remakedemo will reportedly make an appearance at Pax East 2020, allowing fans of the game in Boston to try their hand at it.
The demo will be the same one that appeared in Los Angeles, Cologne, Seattle, & Tokyo. This means attendees will be able to play throughFinal Fantasy 7 Remake’s first mission, which sees players taking control of Cloud and Barret, and partnering with otherAvalanche membersto bring down one of the Shinra Corporation’s many Mako reactors.

The information comes from the official Final Fantasy 7 Remake Twitter account, and according to it, fans will be able to find theFinal Fantasy 7 Remakedemoat the Square Enix booth numbered “12011” at Pax East 2020. The event starts on February 27 and will run through March 1, so fans will have four days to try the demo out for themselves if they haven’t already – or four days to play through it again if they already have.
Despite promoting the demo for PAX East 2020, however, Square Enix has yet to address the demo leaking onto the PlayStation Store back in late December 2019 and revealing things like theFinal Fantasy 7 Remake’s intro sequence. Fans unable to attend the events hosting the demo continue to eagerly await confirmation on when it’ll make the journey into their homes. But nothing official has come down the pipeline yet.
The most logical reason for this is that Square Enix wants to make sure it has something special for fans to experience whenever they go out of their way to attend events hostingFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. With that in mind, once the game runs out of popular promotional events to visit before its launch, Square Enix will presumably go ahead and start announcing details on when the demo will make its way to the PlayStation Store for everyone to play.
As for why the company hasn’t addressed the demo leaking, it probably didn’t feel the need to. The demo looks to be the same one featured at events like Tokyo Game Show 2019, E3 2019, gamescom 2019, and the upcomingPAX East 2020, which means it probably didn’t reveal anything that hasn’t technically been seen multiple times already.
Regardless, fans do have otherFinal Fantasy 7 Remaketrailersand promotions to look at while they wait. They may not be anywhere near as fun and interactive as playing through an actual mission of the game, but they’re something.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakewill launch for the PlayStation 4 on July 20, 2025.
