Final Fantasy Remake Trilogy's Third Installment in Progress

Game director Hamaguchi recently provided an update on the upcoming 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, noting its numerous accolades and global player engagement. The development team aims to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the third installment, promising unique gameplay challenges.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy game of the year, expressing his understanding of the immense pressure on Rockstar Games following GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specific details regarding the third game remain undisclosed, though Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. This is noteworthy considering the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. However, he promises a truly unique experience for players.

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