FF7 Remake Part 3: PS5 Launch Confirmed, Multi-Platform Release Planned
The highly anticipated final installment of the FF7 Remake trilogy will debut on PlayStation 5, producers Yoshinori Kitase and director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed in a recent 4Gamer interview (January 23, 2025). This assures PlayStation fans that Part 3 will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, initially launching on a PlayStation console.
Release Date and Development Update:
While Square Enix remains tight-lipped on a specific release date, Hamaguchi offered a positive development update during a Famitsu interview (January 23, 2025). He reported smooth progress, with a playable build nearing completion by the end of 2024, indicating the game is on track. Kitase also expressed satisfaction with the completed storyline, promising a fulfilling conclusion for fans.
Timed Exclusivity Expected:
A Washington Post report (March 6, 2024) suggested PlayStation secured timed exclusivity for the entire FF7 Remake trilogy. Following the release pattern of previous installments, Part 3 is likely to enjoy a period of PS5 exclusivity before launching on other platforms.
Square Enix's Multi-Platform Shift:
Despite the success of the FF7 Remake series, Square Enix's financial report (March 31, 2024) 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 various platforms is likely to follow.
This strategic move aims to boost sales and broaden the reach of future Square Enix titles. While the PS5 launch is confirmed for FF7 Remake Part 3, fans on other platforms can anticipate its arrival eventually.
