Tetsuya Nomura is backtracking on his previous statements regarding the Final Fantasy VII Remake, confirming that new faces — or maybe creatures — will be appearing in the highly-anticipated game.

Without going too much into detail, the director revealed that the new bosses aren’t considered as the game’s “main” characters but will be impactful enough to affect the outcome of FFVII‘s Midgar stage. “With regard to new characters, of whom I said during past interviews that there would be “none” – though they aren’t main characters, their numbers ended up growing considerably in the process of creating a rich depiction of Midgar,” he wrote in a recent news post on the Square Enix blog. “When you think of Midgar’s final boss, you probably think of the M.O.T.O.R., but in this game new bosses will appear and add to the excitement of the story even more.”

The Final Fantasy VII Remake will be available for PS4 on March 3, 2020.

In case you missed, Zombies mode for Call of Duty: Mobile is finally available.
