Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 development well underway - game director

Game director Hamaguchi recently provided an update on the highly anticipated sequel, urging fans to exercise patience as new information will be revealed at a later date. The team is diligently working on the project.

Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, citing its numerous awards and global player engagement. The developers aim to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the third installment, promising unique challenges for players.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy game of the year, expressing his admiration for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specific details regarding the third game remain undisclosed, but Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. This is noteworthy given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth less than a year ago. However, he promises a truly unique experience for players.

While Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed initial projections and fell short of fiscal year forecasts, the exact figures remain unannounced. Similarly, sales for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also missed expectations, though Square Enix clarified that they do not view the results as a complete failure. The company remains confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
