FFVII Remake 3 Development Surges Forward

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, citing its numerous awards and global player engagement. This success fuels their ambition to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the unique challenges planned for the third installment.

This year, Hamaguchi also expressed admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI, acknowledging the immense pressure on the Rockstar Games team following GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specifics regarding the third game remain undisclosed, although Hamaguchi offered reassurance that development is progressing smoothly. Considering the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth less than a year ago, this news is encouraging. He promised a truly unique player experience.

Despite the positive development news, the May 2024 launch of Final Fantasy XVI fell short of projected sales targets, with exact figures yet to be released. Similarly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sales also underperformed initial forecasts, although Square Enix clarified that they do not view this as a complete failure. There's optimism that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
