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 assured.

Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, a game that garnered numerous accolades and captivated a global audience. Building on this momentum, the developers aim to expand the FFVII fanbase with the third installment, promising unique gameplay challenges.

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 about the third game remain under wraps, but Hamaguchi confirmed that development is progressing smoothly. This is noteworthy considering the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. However, he teased that players can anticipate a truly distinctive experience.

While Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales fell short of initial projections, the exact figures remain undisclosed. Similarly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sales also underperformed expectations, though Square Enix clarified that they don't view it as a complete failure. There's confidence that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales targets within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
