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, he confirmed.

Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, citing numerous awards and widespread player acclaim. This success fuels the team's ambition to broaden the FFVII fanbase with innovative challenges in the upcoming third installment.

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

Specific details about 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. He promises a unique gaming experience.

Despite the positive outlook on the sequel's development, Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed, falling short of initial projections. While exact figures remain unannounced, Square Enix has clarified that they do not view Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's sales as a complete failure, and maintain confidence that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its targets within the allotted 18-month timeframe. Similarly, recent sales figures for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have also been withheld, but were also below expectations.
