Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 director Naoki Hamaguchi has recently shared a positive update about the title, confirming that development is going extremely well. The last entry in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is being eagerly awaited by fans who have played the previous two games, and this update can assure gamers that the title will not likely be delayed.
The original Final Fantasy 7 is often considered among the best games in the Final Fantasy series. Released originally for the PlayStation in 1997, the RPG was a big hit, selling over 10 million units over the years. FF7 eventually gained spin-offs such as Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core, but fans asked for a proper remake for decades. Their wish came true when Final Fantasy 7 Remake was released in 2020, followed by Rebirth in 2024.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3's Development is Going 'Extremely Well'
In a recent interview with Automaton, Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that the development of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is “going extremely well” and that the game is “shaping up nicely.” While the developer did not confirm a release date, he said that “a lot of the content is already playable” and that the game’s art direction is “firmly set in place.” This latest report echoes Hamaguchi’s remarks about Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 in late 2024. At the time, the director also revealed that the next entry in the FF7 trilogy was progressing well, an indication that development could be going according to plan for a long time.
In another recent interview with JPGames, Hamaguchi talked more about Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, revealing that the keyword used to shape the gameplay and story of the next entry has already been decided. Unfortunately, the director did not reveal the keyword, but gamers already know that it was “reunion” for FF7 Remake and “bonds” for Rebirth. So, the next one may also be related to human connections somehow.
As fans wait for the game’s launch, it seems that Square Enix already knows when Final Fantasy Remake Part 3 will be released. In a recent stream, director Tetsuya Nomura commented that the company has already set a release date in mind, and that the team is working hard to complete the experience until then. Rumors indicate that FF7 Remake Part 3 will be out between 2027 and 2028, but all comments about how smooth development has been going can certainly give fans some hope that the title will be available sooner rather than later.
