Square Enix developers Yoshinori Kitase and Naoki Hamaguchi recently discussed this at the G-Star 2024 event in Busan, South Korea.

Relationships. Side Quests. Engaging combat. Love. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a REALLY good game. Let’s talk about why.

Based on the developers' discussions, we’re in for a long wait before we see the third chapter materialize. For reference, Final Fantasy 7 Remake was released in 2020, with FF7 Rebirth hitting retail almost a full four years later on February 29. 2024. If this development trend continues, then we can expect Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 in 20208, which is insane when you think about it. Of course, there’s a chance development time won’t take as long, though I still wouldn’t expect it anytime before 2026 at the earliest.
