Final Fantasy VII Remake receives Yuffie DLC and free PS5 upgrade

Final Fantasy fans that tuned in to Sony's State of Play ended up ecstatic, as the final reveal of the stream brought multiple announcements, including news of an enhanced version of Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS5, including DLC with Yuffie Kisaragi as the protagonist.

After launching this past April for the PlayStation 4, FFVII Remake will debut on next-gen consoles with a slightly altered title, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. 

"Episode Yuffie," the new content in this version, will see the fan-favourite Ninja set on her journey as she aims to take steal rare Materia from the Shinra Electrical corporation.

By the looks of the trailer, the story of the DLC and the original FFVII Remake will happen simultaneously, with very minimum details outside combat showed.
