'FFVII Remake' Part 3 Development Progressing

Hamaguchi, the game director, 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.

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

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned being impressed by Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing his understanding of the immense pressure on Rockstar Games given GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specific details regarding the third game remain scarce, but Hamaguchi offered reassurance that development is progressing smoothly. While the team is currently focused on the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (less than a year ago), he assured players of a unique experience in the next title.

It's worth noting that Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed, falling short of initial projections. While exact figures remain undisclosed, Square Enix clarified that neither Final Fantasy XVI nor Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are considered complete failures, emphasizing the potential for both titles to still meet their long-term sales goals within their respective projected timelines (18 months for XVI).
