Kingdom Hearts 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 progressing “really smoothly”

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake project has been a rather lofty task, with the first entry in the trilogy launching back in 2020 – followed by its sequel Rebirth in 2024. While we will still have to wait some time for the 3rd and final title in the trilogy, Square Enix has offered a development update on both it and the equally-as-anticipated Kingdom Hearts 4.

During the publisher’s recent Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis 2nd Anniversary broadcast, creative director Tetsuya Nomura offered an update on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3. According to Nomura (as translated by the publication Gematsu):

“things are moving along really smoothly, and the release timing has already been decided. We’re moving forward according to that schedule right now, so please rest assured and be patient.”

The long awaited Kingdom Hearts 4 appears to be in a similar spot currently, with Nomura adding: “And this has also come up in the comments here and there, but Kingdom Hearts IV is likewise steadily moving forward according to schedule, so please look forward to it.”

Tetsuya Nomura has headed development on the Kingdom Hearts series since its inception and so it is encouraging to see that both KH4 and the next Final Fantasy VII entry are seemingly in good hands.

Of course, we weren’t given any actual timeline for when to expect either title. That said, with regards to FFVII Remake Part 3, Square Enix previously confirmed that it will arrive before the launch of the PlayStation 6 – meaning it’s still a ways away. With all that in mind, it is welcome to see that development is going smoothly.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Nomura’s comments? Are you expecting we’ll get FFVII Part 3 or Kingdom Hearts 4 first? Let us know down below.
