Square Enix is hoping that the last part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy will be out within three years. The news comes via translated interviews from the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Ultimania book.
Translated by Audrey on Twitter, Tetsuya Nomura says that the storyline for the third game in the remake is completed. He also thinks voice acting for the game could begin “in the near future”.
In the book, producer Yoshinori Kitase also touches on the company’s desire to release the next game in the trilogy within three years.
“Kitase mentions FF7 Rebirth was actually done within 3 years since about one year was developing the DLC, and he hopes to be able to stick with that schedule for Part 3 too,” Audrey says.
Sticking with the development of the third game, specifically, Nomura added that Kitase brought up an idea to include something new within the next game that wasn’t a part of the original Final Fantasy 7 release. According to the book, Nomura is working on a way to “deliver” this element that will “make people happy if they can do it well”.
Lastly, the development team behind the third game will be the same as who worked on the first two games in the remake.
“He says the reason why FF7 Rebirth was such an efficient development period was because they retained the same staff,” Audrey adds.
Should they hit the three-year mark, the third game could be expected to release, likely on the next PlayStation console, in 2027. That would make the 30th anniversary of the release of the original Final Fantasy 7.
