Today, Square Enix announced ASCEND THE SHINTA TOWER – FINAL FANTASY VII Board Game coming in January of 2027. Co-developed with Arclight, Inc, this is a cooperative balance board game based on Final Fantasy VII in which players work together to stack floor tiles and build Shinra Tower to get Cloud to the top where he'll defeat Sephiroth.
Inspired by FINAL FANTASY VII, this thrilling cooperative balance board game has you and your teammates working together to ascend the unstable Shinra Tower. Stack “Floor Tiles” atop “Wall Tiles” of varying heights to build upward, level by level. As the Shinra Tower rises, it gradually begins to tilt, becoming increasingly unstable…
Maintaining balance through teamwork and discussion becomes the key to success in this cooperative challenge.
Foes who stand in Cloud’s way will appear one after another within the Shinra Tower. Borrow the strength of your allies to overcome these enemies as Cloud continues his ascent toward the top. If you can prevent the Shinra Tower from collapsing and help Cloud reach the 8th floor, you win the game — but the final challenge still awaits…
Will you be able to overcome your nemesis Sephiroth and save the planet from crisis?
The game's artwork was supervised by Tetsuya Nomura, the original game's character designer and story concept creator. Pre-orders are available now right here.
