The $35 USD Shinra Tower Heist

Final Fantasy 7 fans have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of the upcoming third installment in the Remake series, but in the meantime, they can enjoy a new relaese from Square Enix.. Ascend the Shinra Tower is a cooperative balance board game that challenges players to build a tower while trying to defeat foes and reach the eighth level.

The game, available for pre-order now, is described as a new cooperative balance board game inspired by Final Fantasy 7. It's essentially Final Fantasy 7 Jenga, where players stack Floor Tiles atop Wall Tiles of varying heights to build upward, level by level.

The game includes various foes that will make it harder to keep the tower intact, serving as obstacles that you'll encounter as you stack the tower higher. The goal is to reach the eighth level and face off against Sephiroth and save the planet from crisis.

An Echo of Sydney's 2024 Institutional Buy-up

While we still don't have a specific FF7 Part 3 release date or title, developers at Square Enix remain insistent that progress is on track and an official announcement is in the works soon.. As for when that could be, fans were hoping for a possible reveal at the big State of Play event earlier this week, and while that didn't pan out, the event was packed with plenty of other huge reveals.

That said, there's a pretty decent chance we could be getting an official Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 announcement at this weekend's Summer Game Fest, which officially kicks off tonight at 5:00 PM EST.

Who is the Unnamed Buyer?

Ascend the Shinra Tower is intended for 1-5 players ages 13+, and each game will take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete. The game includes 20 floor tiles, 54 wall tiles, 22 action cards, 24 wooden pieces, and a set of rule sheets in various languages, and is expected to ship in January next year.
