Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Story Now Complete, Game Is on Schedule

Nomura finishes his homework

Lead developers at Square Enix have revealed that the story for the third and final part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake project is now complete, and production of the game is on schedule. Speaking to Famitsu (via Eurogamer), the director Naoki Hamaguchi said that development is going "very well" and progress is going as planned "without any delay".

Turning to producer Yoshinori Kitase, it is explained that finishing off the remake project was given to Tetsuya Nomura as "homework" while "respecting the original and providing a sense of satisfaction that wasn't felt in the original". Kitase continues: "That was finally completed at the end of the year, and the scenario for the third instalment was completed there."

Kitase then adds that he's "very satisfied" with the story for the final part and he's "sure the fans will be satisfied with the final chapter".

Square Enix previously said it hopes to stick to a similar cadence in terms of how long it takes to develop the final part of Final Fantasy VII Remake. If it manages to — and is currently on schedule to per Hamaguchi's comments — then the third game could release in or around 2027 or 2028. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth dropped its PS5 exclusively today with a PC port.
