Square Enix says US-based customers who pre-ordered the Final Fantasy 7 Remake from their store need to reconfirm their order. In a social media post, the studio says pre-orders that aren't reconfirmed via email will be cancelled after the February 28 deadline.
"Due to the release date change to April 10th, you must opt-in by February 28 for your order to not be cancelled," reads the social media statement. "If you do not opt in to keep your pre-order by February 28, your pre-order will be automatically cancelled. We will not be able to reinstate your pre-order, based on limited quantities available."
It's not clear why the recent delay is affecting pre-orders this way, but fans who want to make 100% sure they have their copy by release would do well to heed Square Enix's instructions. It's also worth noting that the new schedule means your payment for the pre-order will now process on February 28. Square Enix says you'll get an email reminder to make sure your payment information is up to date.

The Final Fantasy 7 remake was just recently delayed by a little over a month, which is fairly modest considering what we've seen from other games. Not to open up any sore wounds, but the long-awaited Cyberpunk 2077 was just dealt a five-month delay. What I'm saying is, things could be worse, so secure that pre-order before time's up.
