FF7 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 details 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 accolades and global player engagement. Building on this momentum, the developers aim to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the third game, promising unique gameplay challenges.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned Grand Theft Auto VI as a game that caught his attention this year. He expressed his admiration for the Rockstar Games team, acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specifics regarding the third installment remain undisclosed, though Hamaguchi offered reassurance that development is progressing smoothly. This is noteworthy given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He emphasized that players can anticipate a truly unique experience.

Despite the positive development news, the May 2024 launch of Final Fantasy XVI fell short of projected sales targets, with the exact figures yet to be released. Similarly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sales also underperformed initial forecasts, though Square Enix clarified that they don't view it as a complete failure. The company remains confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
