FFVII Remake Part 3 in Active Development

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, he assures.

Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, noting its numerous awards and global player reception. Building on this momentum, the developers aim to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the third game, promising unique gameplay challenges.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also cited Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy title this 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 installment remain under wraps. However, Hamaguchi offered reassurance, confirming that development is progressing smoothly. While the team is currently focused on the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Hamaguchi emphasized that players can expect a truly unique experience in the upcoming game.

Despite the positive outlook on the sequel, Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch fell short of projected sales targets, though the exact figures remain undisclosed. Similarly, sales of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also underperformed initial expectations. Square Enix, however, has clarified that neither game is considered a complete failure, and Final Fantasy XVI still has potential to meet its goals within the allocated 18-month timeframe.
