FF7 Remake Concludes Epic Trilogy on PS5, Other Consoles to Follow

FF7 Remake Part 3: PS5 Launch Confirmed, Multi-Platform Release Planned

The highly anticipated final installment of the FF7 Remake trilogy will debut on the PlayStation 5, according to producers Yoshinori Kitase and director Naoki Hamaguchi. This confirmation, shared during a January 23, 2025 interview with 4Gamer, alleviates concerns among PlayStation fans following the staggered releases of previous installments.

Release Date and Development Progress:

While Square Enix remains tight-lipped on the exact release date, Hamaguchi provided a positive development update during a January 23, 2025 Famitsu interview. Development, initiated concurrently with FF7 Rebirth, is progressing smoothly, with a key build completed by the end of 2024. Kitase also expressed satisfaction with the completed storyline, suggesting a potentially imminent release.

Timed Exclusivity Expected:

A March 6, 2024 Washington Post report indicated that PlayStation secured timed exclusivity for the entire FF7 Remake trilogy. Following the precedent set by previous titles (one-year exclusivity for FF7 Remake on PS4, six-month exclusivity for FF7 Remake Intergrade on PS5, and timed exclusivity for FF7 Rebirth), Part 3 is likely to follow suit, launching exclusively on PS5 before a later release on other platforms.

Square Enix's Multi-Platform Shift:

Despite the positive reception of the FF7 Remake series, Square Enix's March 31, 2024 financial report revealed declining sales in its HD titles. In response, the company announced a strategic shift towards a multi-platform approach, encompassing Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. This suggests that while Part 3 will initially launch on PS5, a wider release across multiple platforms is anticipated eventually.

Stay tuned for further announcements regarding the official release date and platform availability of FF7 Remake Part 3.
