While Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was just released a little over a month ago, it seems that fans are already getting excited for the third part. As it turns out, it may not be a very long wait, as Square Enix expects the currently-untitled Final Fantasy 7 remake part 3 to share a similar development and release process as Rebirth.
As confirmed in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Ultimania (translated by Twitter/X user Aubrey), game director Yoshinori Kitase took to discussing the development of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, noting that the reason they were able to develop and release Rebirth so soon after Remake, is that the game shared the same development team. Often, studios will shuffle developers between releases, but Square Enix kept the same people working on Remake in the case of Rebirth.
And from what Kitase said, that’ll also be the case for Final Fantasy 7 Part 3, with the same team still working on it. The hope here is that since the third game will have so many already familiar with working on the series, the development will be just as smooth and quick, and hopefully, it will stick to the same release schedule as Rebirth.
This would put it about three to four years out, meaning we can likely expect Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to arrive sometime in 2027 at the earliest.
That’s not too long of a wait, but of course, we can’t be 100% certain it’ll stick to that schedule. Still, things are looking up, and it helps that the teams working on it will be the same ones who did Remake and Rebirth. Speaking of which, if you still haven’t played Rebirth, go read our review why it’s one of the year’s best games to date.
With that all said, what do you hope for the final installment of the trilogy? Let us know in the comments below!
