In an unusual move, Square Enix has decided to ship Final Fantasy VII Remake earlier than planned in select regions.
A statement released via Twitter attributes the decision to the disruption caused by COVID-19, which producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Tetsuya Nomura say has "made it very difficult to align timing of our global shipping."
The game is due to launch on April 10, and the company had previously warned that delivery may be delayed due to logistical problems caused by the virus.
But in an effort to avoid that, Square Enix has decided to "ship the game far earlier than usual to Europe and Australia."
