So here's the thing about this new update - Square Enix just dropped some wild news. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is officially coming to Switch 2, and they're sweetening the deal with something I definitely didn't see coming. An exclusive Magic: The Gathering card featuring Cloud himself.
Preorders went live today across pretty much every major retailer. And yeah, before you ask, this is the full game we're talking about here. Not some watered-down version. The same massive RPG that had PS5 owners glued to their screens is making the jump to Nintendo's new hardware sometime later this year.
But let's talk about that MTG card for a second. Square partnering with Wizards of the Coast? That's new territory. We don't have all the details yet on what the card actually does or if it'll be tournament legal, but honestly? It's a pretty smart move. Both franchises have overlapping fanbases who love collecting stuff.
The timing makes sense too. Switch 2 launches next month in March 2026, and having a heavy hitter like FF7 Rebirth in the pipeline shows Nintendo's serious about getting those third-party AAA games this time around. Remember how the original Switch struggled with some bigger releases? Seems like that won't be an issue anymore.
No word yet on pricing or the exact release date, but I'm guessing we'll hear more during Nintendo's next Direct. One thing's for sure though - between this and all the other announcements lately, 2026 is shaping up to be one hell of a year for Switch owners.
