10 Insanely Ambitious Video Games Launching In 2020

10. Final Fantasy VII Remake

The Final Fantasy saga is beloved among gamers for its memorable characters, detailed worlds and haunting songs. So, the pressure was always going to be on for the Final Fantasy VII remake, which retells the story of the original game. Remaking an established story is hard at the best of times, but when you factor in the amount of detail that went into the early Final Fantasy games, Square Enix has a lot of work on its hands.

But rather than retread old ground, the studio is determined to add a fresh spin to the story of Cloud Strife and his allies. Trailer footage has revealed several updates in the remake, such as a real-time battle system that borrows from the Kingdom Hearts model. Players will be able to freely control their characters while using weapons to attack enemies.

At the same time, the Final Fantasy VII remake will also feature the strategic elements that made the original such a hit. The studio is walking a fine line between staying true to the franchise and introducing new options, which is essential in making it a success.
