With The Game Awards 2019 scheduled for this evening, several game companies are now taking the opportunity to build up a little more hype before the event with teases about what may be shown. However, Square Enix is taking a more direct route, as the publisher announced on Twitter today that Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be shown at The Game Awards 2019 with a brand new trailer.

In a post to the official Final Fantasy 7 Remake Twitter account, Square Enix confirmed that a new trailer will be shown during the awards event. Square Enix even provided some context for the trailer, describing it as focusing on "everyone's favorite ex-Soldier." That is to say that the trailer will be about Final Fantasy 7 protagonist Cloud Strife, or more specifically an introduction to "his story."

Up until now, Square Enix has been content to avoid revealing any major story beats in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Simply sharing familiar settings, characters in familiar situations, or villains and bosses preparing their nefarious deeds has built up hype quite efficiently. Now Square Enix sounds like it's ready to explore the story of Final Fantasy 7 Remake a little more deeply, providing context for Cloud's role in the story.

What will be interesting to see is whether or not Square Enix copies the early storytelling of the original Final Fantasy 7 for Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Structurally, Final Fantasy 7 Remake has seemed quite similar to the original game so far, based on early trailers, but given the length of the new game and its more cinematic nature, it'd natural for Final Fantasy 7 Remake to be unique and creative in many ways. Cloud's personality is one of those areas that's certain to feel different from the original game.

Final Fantasy 7 fans won't have to wait long to see what Square Enix has put together, as The Game Awards 2019 airs at 5:30 pm PT today. The show is planned to run for around two and a half hours, so the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer could be shown anywhere between 5:30 and 8:00 pm PT. For those who aren't able to watch the show, it's certain to be shared online via Square Enix's social media accounts.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake releases March 3, 2020, on PS4.
