While video games have been a huge boon for gamers cooped up at home due to the pandemic, the industry has been heavily shaken by it. However, exactly how far out any new dates for performances will have to be set for remains to be seen. Given the overwhelming popularity of Final Fantasy 7 and the unusual circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's also highly likely that Square Enix will arrange for future concerts to be held in Tokyo in order to help make up for skipping these upcoming performances. While fans who have been awaiting the concert are likely disappointed, Square Enix is providing refunds for tickets. The Osaka, Japan concert, set for April, also has an unknown fate at this time, as predicting the outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic that far in advance is nearly impossible. Without an audience, it will likely be safer for the performance to be held, but it could still put the performers themselves at risk, so it's not guaranteed to happen. A livestreamed version of the concert was set to be played on February 13 online, but Square Enix has yet to announce whether that's still going to happen or has been canceled as well. What this means for the future concert tour dates is unclear. However, this state of emergency is expected to be extended, and it seems Square Enix has taken the initiative in canceling the concerts in order to protect its fans and to comply with any further extensions.
At the moment, a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been declared in Tokyo, which has shut down major events through February 7. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake World Tour Concert was next slated to have performances held in Tokyo, Japan, running from February 12 to February 13.

Fans of Final Fantasy and other Square Enix properties have been given ample opportunities to attend live concerts performing some of the greatest tracks from the developer's titles.
