New details, screenshots, and the official keyart for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade have been revealed, and they showcase the Summon Ramuh, the return of Nero, the Fort Condor mini-game, and more.
We first see the return of Dirge of Cerberus' Nero the Sable - a member of an elite unit within Deepground known as Tsivets. He also happens to be the brother of Deepground's leader Weiss, who he "practically worships." He was created by a special experiment and can manipulate the power of darkness.

Scarlet and The Crimson Mare will also play a big role in the upcoming DLC, and Scarlet, who is Shinra's director of Advanced Weaponry, is in charge of creating the ultimate materia Wutai wants to steal. Yuffie and Sonon will run into Scarlet, and she "graciously" lets them be test subjects for the Crimson Mare - a "suit of battle armor she developed and pilots herself."
Yuffie's Final Fantasy 7 Remake INTERmission episode was a spotlight, and it was explained that while new character Sonon can't be directly controlled, using the L2 button will let Yuffie and Sonon use Synergised attacks. These include Art of War, which hits an enemy and increases the damage of future attacks, and Windstorm, which creates a gust of wind to damage enemies and launch them towards you.
Yuffie's Limit Breaks were also revealed, and they include Bloodbath, which unleashes a flurry of blows and deals major damage, and Dance of the Dragon, which delivers a ton of high-powered strikes.

The mini-game Fort Condor from the original Final Fantasy 7 is also making a return, albeit in a slightly different form. In FF7R, Fort Condor is a strategic board game that tasks players with sending out units to attack an enemy's base and protect your own. It has arrived in the Sector 7 undercity and has become quite popular. If you are able to defeat the grandmaster, you will get a "rare orb of materia."
To play, you will need to consume ATB to place units on the field that will move forward automatically to attack their opponents. There are Vanguard, Ranged, and Defense units, and one-time use materia can be utilized to cast powerful spells.
Ramuh, the Lord of Lightning himself, will be a new Summon in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. He was said to once "cast judgment on the wicked with mighty bolts and exhorted humanity to accept the ways of law and order." He can use the ability Voltaic Lance to deal damage to nearby enemies over time and Judgment Bolt, his Ultimate Attack, conjures up a powerful lightning storm that "lays waste to all enemies on the battlefield."

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will launch on PS5 on June 10, 2021, and will be free for all those who own the remake on PS4. However, the Yuffie-focused Final Fantasy 7 Remake EPISODE INTERmission will be an additional purchase unless you purchase a new copy of Intergrade.
