Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's sequel is in development, but fans will need to be patient for updates, according to game director Hamaguchi. 2024 proved successful for Rebirth, garnering awards and global attention. The team aims to expand the FFVII fanbase with unique challenges in the upcoming third game.
Hamaguchi also cited Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy game this year, expressing empathy for Rockstar Games' team under pressure from GTA V's massive success.
While details remain scarce, development of the third installment is reportedly progressing smoothly. This is notable considering the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth less than a year ago. Hamaguchi promises a unique experience for players.
Despite this positive outlook, Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch underperformed, falling short of sales projections. Specific sales figures for both XVI and Rebirth remain undisclosed, though Square Enix maintains that Rebirth's sales aren't a complete failure and that XVI still has potential to meet its goals within its projected 18-month timeframe.
