This week, there’s a buzz around the Switch 2 version of *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth*. But let’s not forget that Square Enix is also moving ahead with the trilogy’s third installment.
Earlier this year, we learned that Part 3 has an official title. Naoki Hamaguchi, the game’s director, recently shared updates during his press tour. He emphasized that development is on track. In his words, “What I can say is that development is proceeding on time and on schedule. We believe it’ll become a title we can deliver with confidence as the culmination of the trilogy.”
Hamguchi also mentioned that preparations for an official announcement are making progress. Fans, understandably eager for news, are advised to stay tuned a bit longer.
Back in March, he stated that the development team was in the “final push” phase. The game is already playable, with the focus shifting to refining the experience.
The immediate focus, however, is on the release of *Rebirth* on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S scheduled for June 3, 2026. As for the third installment, it’s projected for a 2027 release, tantalizingly close to the original title’s 30th anniversary. Hamaguchi has indicated that the Switch 2 version of Part 3 is being developed simultaneously with other platforms, ensuring a cohesive experience for all players.
Interestingly, the excitement surrounding *Final Fantasy VII* isn’t just within the gaming community. A recent Twitter poll showed that over 70% of fans are highly anticipating Part 3, with many sharing their hopes about the game’s features and storyline.
As this beloved series continues to evolve, it’s clear that both longtime fans and newcomers are ready for what’s next. The combination of nostalgia and shiny new graphics is sure to attract a wide audience.
