Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi has admitted that they haven't decided what to do with the graphics engine for the third installment of FFVII Remake yet, but there's a glimmer of hope…
Final Fantasy VII Revival is almost certain to happen. One of the best games of the year.It's probably one of the main candidates to win the 2024 GOTY. Although it should also be acknowledged that this game does not end the story of Square Enix's JRPG. There are many people who have already finished FF VII Rebirth and are already dying to finish the trilogy.
However, all indications are that we will have to wait until at least 2027 for the release of the third part of Final Fantasy VII Remake. But there is a chance that the development process will be accelerated. This also requires updating the graphics engine to Unreal Engine 5 if possible. FF VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi spoke about this to Japanese media outlet CG World. “We have to weigh the pros and cons, but I think it's possible.” It starts.
“But I think what our users want most right now is to get the latest game in the series in good shape as quickly as possible.”
“We will think about it objectively and decide whether changing the system will speed things up or whether it is better to do everything at once as it is.” He explains (after GamesRadar). In addition to all this, he also pointed out that it took four years to release Final Fantasy VII Rebirth because part of the team was busy with the Intermission DLC for FF VII Remake.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the highest-rated game of 2024
Excluding the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, FF VII Rebirth is the highest-rated game of 2024 so far. It’s also the best-selling game of the year in Japan. Despite the latter, Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XVI and FF VII Rebirth’s sales are lower than expected. However, we’ll have to wait for their PC release to see how many more sales they generate.
