During this event, fans expect Square Enix to make a formal announcement about the release date of The Rising Tide. Some fans are also hoping that the gaming studio will launch an official trailer for the DLC at this event. Since Echoes of the Fallen was dropped all of a sudden by the gaming studio, there is a possibility of it following a similar approach with The Rising Tide. This is already a very important week for Final Fantasy fans. Fans are looking forward to the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy.
