Final Fantasy VII Remake's Closing Installment In Progress

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.

Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, citing its numerous awards and widespread player acclaim. The developers aim to broaden the game's appeal and introduce fresh challenges in the upcoming third installment.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy game this year, expressing his admiration for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specific details regarding the third game remain undisclosed. However, Hamaguchi offered reassurance, stating that development is progressing smoothly. While the team is currently focused on the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Hamaguchi promised a unique gaming experience for players.

Despite the positive outlook on the sequel, Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch underperformed, falling short of projected sales targets. While precise sales figures remain unannounced, Square Enix clarified that they do not view Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's sales as a complete failure, and Final Fantasy XVI still has potential to meet its goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe. Similarly, recent sales figures for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have also been withheld, but also fell short of initial projections.
