Square Enix plans to release Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 in 2027

Final Fantasy 7 Reborn is the second installment in a trilogy of remakes of the original 1997 game, released in February. While developer Square Enix has yet to confirm a release date or official title for the final game in the remake trilogy, it’s likely that the game will release on PS5 at some point during the ongoing console generation cycle. Now, the studio has provided an update on the release schedule for the third and final game in the Final Fantasy Remake trilogy project.

Information about the game’s release schedule is part of an interview with the developers in the newly published companion piece to Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Ultimania. An X user (@aitaikimochi) posted some excerpts on the Weibo site last week, claiming that the story for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is complete and that the game could launch in three years.

According to an excerpt from the book posted on X, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura believes voice recording for the game may begin soon. In addition, “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” series producer Yoshinori Kitase reportedly stated in the book that the development cycle of “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” was very efficient because Square Enix retained “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” (the first game in the new trilogy) by the same people. Kitase reportedly said that the third installment will also have the same development team.

According to Kitase, the third game in the remake trilogy could take the same amount of time to prepare as Final Fantasy 7 Reborn, thus suggesting that Part 3 could launch in three years, which would put a release window of 2027 at some point. Kitase reportedly said that Final Fantasy 7 Reborn was completed in three years, with an additional year spent developing DLC.

Final Fantasy 7 Reborn will be released exclusively on PS5 on February 29th. It is the second game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project and the sequel to Final Fantasy Remake released in April 2020. Square Enix has yet to confirm the title of the final game in the trilogy;
