Alongside revealing new details, Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade for PS5’s new Yuffie-focused episode will be called Final Fantasy 7 Remake EPISODE INTERmission.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is an enhanced and expanded version of 2020’s remake of the classic PS1 title for PS5, and this new PS5-exclusive episode will see Yuffie attempting to steal the Shinra Electric Power Company’s most powerful materia.

Yuffie is a member of Wutai’s elite corps of ninja operatives, and she has a unique play style that allows her to throw her iconic massive throwing star at enemies. She is also able to attack using long-range ninjutsu that can be imbued with the elemental powers of fire, ice, lightning, or wind.

Yuffie also has an ability called Banishment, which can be charged with Elemental Ninjutsu, that will do more damage based on how much ATB was spent before it, and another called Windstorm that will create a damaging gust of wind that damages nearby enemies and launches them towards her.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake EPISODE INTERmission will also feature additional characters like the previously revealed Sonon, Zhijie – a “Wutain who acts as the point of contact between the new Wutaian government and Avalanche HQ – and other members of Avalanche HQ like Nayo, Billy Bob, and Polk.

Weiss, the “sadistic ruler of Shinra’s top-secret underground research centre Deepground,” will also be part of the story.

Square also shared the English voice cast behind these new characters, and they include;

• Yuffie Kisaragi – Suzie Yeung
• Sonon Kusakabe – Aleks Le
• Weiss – Daman Mills
• Zhijie – Griffin Puatu
• Nayo – Ashley Boettcher
• Billy Bob – David Goldstein
• Polk – Daniel Amerman

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will be available as a free update to all who own FF7 Remake on PS4 on June 10, 2021. However, Yuffie’s FF7R EPISODE INTERmission will be a separate purchase.

A Digital Deluxe Edition will also be made available that include a digital mini soundtrack that includes “Descendant of Shinobi,” and a digital mini artbook that includes concept art and character sheets. Customers who pre-order FF7 Remake Intergrade will receive the pre-order bonus Cacstar weapon for use in FF7R EPISODE INTERmission.
