FF7 Remake Part 3: Development Soaring

Game director Hamaguchi recently provided an update on the highly anticipated sequel, urging fans to exercise patience while the team diligently works on its development. Further details will be revealed at a later date.

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

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned being impressed by Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing his admiration for Rockstar Games and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.

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

Despite the positive outlook on the sequel's development, the May 2024 launch of Final Fantasy XVI fell short of projected sales targets, with specific figures yet to be released. Similarly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sales also underperformed initial forecasts, though Square Enix maintains that neither title is considered a complete failure, and believes Final Fantasy XVI still has potential to meet its goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
