Back at the end of February, SQUARE ENIX announced a bunch of Final Fantasy VII-related news, one of them being the unique battle royale Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. Today, the company opened the official Twitter account for the game, and announced the opening of the official Discord server.

Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier is a battle royale style game, but with a Final Fantasy twist: you can use magic, and other Final Fantasy-esque attacks while you’re in the midst of battle. The new mobile title takes place 30 years before the events of Final Fantasy VII and shows the story about how Shinra is looking to further enhance its military prowess by starting something called Project 0. It will actually be really interesting to see how the game plays as well as how the story ties into the main Final Fantasy VII story.
Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier is still slated to release sometime in 2021 for Android and iOS devices, with no specific release date announced as of yet. But with the opening of the official Twitter account and the official Discord server going live, I would think that it is coming sooner rather than later.
