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 details 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 numerous awards and widespread player acclaim. The developers aim to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the third installment, promising unique gameplay challenges.

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

Specifics regarding the third game remain undisclosed, although Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. This is notable given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. However, he promises a truly unique experience for players.

Despite this positive outlook, the May 2024 launch of Final Fantasy XVI fell short of projected sales targets, with exact figures yet to be released. Similarly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sales also underperformed initial forecasts, though Square Enix clarified that neither title is considered a complete failure. The company remains confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its long-term sales goals within the allocated 18-month timeframe.
