Final Fantasy 7 Reborn reveals its theme song and new clip at The Game Awards

A new trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Reborn debuted at The Game Awards 2023, giving fans another glimpse into the upcoming second chapter of Square Enix’s ambitious remake project.

The new trailer debuts alongside the game’s theme song, performed live by Loren Allred, the artist who recorded the song for the upcoming RPG sequel.

Allred is best known for her performance in the platinum-selling song “Never Enough” from the musical “The Greatest Showman,” but reality TV viewers on both coasts may also recognize her from her 2012 appearance on “The Voice.” (where she came in 13th place), and the 2022 series of Britain’s Got Talent (where she came in 9th place).

In the FF7 universe, Allred is the follow-up to Japanese recording artist Yosh, who sang the FF7 Remake theme song “Hollow”. Like “Hollow”, the new theme song of “Rebirth” is also a new work composed for this new game by the legendary FF music originator Nobuo Uematsu.

The trailer showcases multiple FF7 alumni; from Vincent to Sephiroth, Aerith to Yuffie, and we also get an in-universe rendering of Loren Allred herself (matching her on-stage performance outfit, a white, very FF set). If you’re a fan of the game, you’ll notice how the FF7 Aerith theme is set to music, evoking strong emotions with just six notes.

Fans won’t have to wait too long to hear the new theme song live and experience the scenes on display; FF7 Rebirth is less than two months away, expected to be released on February 29, 2024 (leap day). At least for now it’s only available on PS5.

If you want to know more, you can read our preview, in which I noticed that FF7 Reborn is bigger, bolder, and better than the excellent FF7 Remake.
