Square Enix Provides Major Update on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Title Selection
Square Enix, one of Japan’s most influential game developers and publishers, has delivered a significant update for fans eagerly awaiting Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
The announcement comes from franchise veterans Naoki Hamaguchi, director of the remake series, and creative leader Tetsuya Nomura.
Both have played pivotal roles in revitalizing the Final Fantasy VII legacy for modern platforms, including PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Final Fantasy VII Remake, originally released for PlayStation 4 in 2020 and subsequently on PlayStation 5 and PC, reimagined the iconic 1997 RPG with a blend of real-time action and cinematic storytelling.
With sales milestones exceeding five million copies worldwide within months of its initial launch, the remake series has reinvigorated the franchise for both legacy fans and newcomers.
The second installment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, launched in February 2024 and continued the ambitious retelling of Cloud Strife’s adventure. In a recent developer update, Hamaguchi and Nomura revealed that the official title for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 has been narrowed down to two possible names.
According to Hamaguchi, the decision on the final title will be made within this year, providing fans with concrete progress in the project’s development timeline.
“We’ve shortlisted it to two options,” Hamaguchi stated, adding that the team will finalize their selection before the year’s end.
Tetsuya Nomura also reaffirmed that the naming process is on track and will be settled in 2024. This news is a meaningful indicator that production on the third installment is progressing steadily.
While neither developer disclosed further details about the storyline or release date, industry watchers expect that an official reveal—including a potential debut trailer—could be slated for a future Square Enix presentation or a Nintendo Direct. As Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 continues its development under the direction of Hamaguchi and Nomura, anticipation remains high across the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch communities.
With the remake series’ proven commercial and critical success, Square Enix’s methodical, transparent communication underscores their commitment to delivering a fitting continuation to one of gaming’s most beloved sagas.
Fans can look forward to additional updates and—soon—the definitive title announcement for the next chapter in Final Fantasy VII’s celebrated journey.
