Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 should be revealed this year

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is on track to be announced later this year, with director Naoki Hamaguchi suggesting the release window won’t be far behind.

Speaking to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Hamaguchi said he is “hoping it’s not going to be too far in the future,” signalling a release window that aligns with a first‑half 2027 launch. Hamaguchi confirmed that the third entry will continue the team’s approach of expanding beyond the 1997 original:

“We didn’t want the three installments to be a reskinning of the same game over and over again,” he said. “We want to make sure we’re expanding with every installment in terms of scale, as well as retaining that freshness.”

He added that the team “already has the foundation of the gameplay in place” and is now focused on fine‑tuning. Staff continuity has also remained high, with “closer to 95% of the Rebirth staff” returning for the final chapter.

While full details are being held for the official reveal, Hamaguchi confirmed several returning locations and features. Rocket Town and Wutai are both in, and flying the Highwind will be “a very large part of the third installment”. He also teased new Chocobo elements, potential underwater exploration, and a starting point that aligns with the original game’s path from the Forgotten City toward Icicle Inn.
