FF7’s Remake Part 3 Will Still Release on PS5
PlayStation enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief—FF7 Remake Part 3 is set to grace the PS5. In a recent interview with 4Gamer on January 23, 2025, Kitase and Hamaguchi dispelled any doubts about the platform, stating, "No, you can rest assured about the next one (FF7 Remake Part 3)." Given that the PS5 is mid-cycle, there's speculation that the trilogy could eventually transition to the next PlayStation console, though specifics about the PS6 remain under wraps.
FF7 Remake Part 3 Release Date
While Square Enix has kept the release date under wraps, development on FF7 Remake Part 3 has been progressing smoothly. In an interview with Famitsu on January 23, 2025, Hamaguchi shared, "It’s going very well. We started working on the third game right after FFVII Rebirth ended, and we have a build that will confirm what we should aim for as a game by the end of 2024." With a clear direction established and no delays from the planned schedule, fans can anticipate an exciting conclusion. Kitase also expressed satisfaction with the story's completion, promising a fulfilling end for fans.
FF7 Remake Part 3 Will Allegedly Be a Timed Exclusive Game
According to a report from the Washington Post on March 6, 2024, FF7 Remake Part 3 will follow the trend of being a timed exclusive on PS5. The previous installments, FF7 Remake and FF7 Remake Intergrade, had exclusive periods on PS4 and PS5 respectively before becoming available on PC. Similarly, FF7 Rebirth enjoyed a timed exclusivity on PS5 before its PC release on January 23, 2025. It's anticipated that FF7 Remake Part 3 will also be available on other platforms after its initial PS5 exclusivity period.
Square Enix Multi-Platform Strategy Amidst Declining Sales
Despite the positive reception of the FF7 Remake series, Square Enix reported a decline in HD title sales in their financial results on March 31, 2024. Titles such as FF16, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, and FF7 Rebirth contributed to this trend, alongside rising development and advertising costs. In response, Square Enix is shifting towards a multi-platform strategy, planning to release more HD titles on Nintendo platforms, PlayStation, Xbox, and PCs. This move aims to boost sales and broaden their audience, potentially bringing more of their beloved titles to a wider range of platforms.
