Square Enix had plans for DLC for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth but decided to focus on releasing the third installment of the Remake trilogy first, though they remain open to future expansions or new titles after the trilogy concludes.
Square Enix announced that the entire Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy, including Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, will be released on Switch 2, with Remake Intergrade launching in January 2026 as a Game-Key Card, and the other titles expected to follow, though no specific dates are provided.
The development of the third and final installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy is underway, with the story and concept already completed. Director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that the game will feature the Highwind airship, allowing players to fly freely around the map, a challenge the team is committed to overcoming. This installment aims to expand on the world-building seen in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, promising an engaging experience even in revisited locations.
The final part of the "Final Fantasy VII" remake trilogy may be aiming for a 2027 release, with the main story already completed and voice recording set to begin soon. The success of "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" has expedited the development process, and there's potential for new and important elements to be included in the game. The team hopes to deliver the game in a similar timeframe to the second installment, and the 2027 release would coincide with the original game's 30th anniversary.
Square Enix expects the third and final installment of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy to be released around 2027, with a possibility of 2028 if an expansion similar to the Yuffie DLC is added. The development team aims to maintain the same level of quality as the previous titles, and the main story is already written. This timeline aligns with the potential release of a new PlayStation console, ensuring all three games can be on one platform.
Square Enix is reportedly working on the next game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, with composer Nobuo Uematsu expressing interest in returning for the main theme. While not an official announcement, the creators hinted at being "off to the races already," and Uematsu expressed his honor at the potential offer. The company's focus on the remakes aligns with plans to streamline and diversify development, as well as overhaul development processes, with potential changes coming this month.
