Square Enix has provided exciting updates on the development of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, revealing that the third installment of the remake, currently playable, is in the final development phase.

Naoki Hamaguchi, the game’s director, stated in a recent interview that progress is aligned with the established goals and that the ports for consoles like Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S are not affecting the development of the next chapter, confirming that there is a dedicated team handling the porting work independently.

What a fantasy of a game

Hamaguchi explained that this team meticulously focuses on adapting the console versions, allowing them to concentrate on creating the third installment.

He highlighted that development is progressing smoothly, with each day bringing significant improvements in game quality and an increasingly polished experience.

“We are in the final phase, refining and building the experience,” the director noted, adding that players will see updates about the series “more than ever” throughout this year.

With the promise of more news on the horizon, Final Fantasy 7 fans will be keeping an eye not only on the imminent release of the third part but also on the constant improvements and updates that the developer has in store for them.
