If you’ve thought of yourself as SOLDIER material, the chance to virtually prove your mettle is coming. Registration is open right now forFinal Fantasy VII The First Soldier‘s closed beta.
Square Enix has sign-ups open through May 27 at 8 a.m. PDT, after which a play period of June 1 through 7 will follow for those selected. You can pre-register on theGoogle Play Store, and you’ll be notified if you make the cut—though Square Enix mentions that registering does not guarantee a closed beta invite. It’s alsoonly open for Android users; sorry, Apple fans.
If you need a refresher,Final Fantasy VII The First Soldieris a battle royale set in the universe ofFinal Fantasy VII, where SOLDIER candidates compete to be the last one standing across Midgar. While there are certainly guns, there’s also plenty of moreFinal Fantasyoptions, like summoning Ifrit for help or using materia to get the upper hand.
It’s a curious-looking battle royale, but between the chocobo attire and the Midgar locales these candidates are fighting in, it at least seems faithful. Those looking for more traditionalFinal Fantasy VII Remakecontent can instead look towardsthe most recentIntergradetrailer. The PS5 upgrade ofFinal Fantasy VII Remakegoes live on June 10, not long afterFirst Soldier‘s closed beta closes.
