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 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 the third game, promising unique challenges.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned being impressed by Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing empathy for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure stemming from GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specific details regarding the third installment remain undisclosed. However, Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. Considering the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, this news is encouraging. He promises a truly unique gaming experience.

Despite the positive development news, Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed, falling short of initial projections. While specific sales figures haven't been released publicly, Square Enix maintains that neither Final Fantasy XVI nor Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are considered complete failures. The company remains confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales targets within the allocated 18-month timeframe.
