FF7 Remake Part 3 Set for PS5 Priority Launch

Final Fantasy VII 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, according to producers Yoshinori Kitase and director Naoki Hamaguchi. This confirmation, given during a January 23, 2025 interview with 4Gamer, addresses concerns from PlayStation fans following the staggered releases of previous installments.

Release Date and Development Progress:

While Square Enix remains tight-lipped on a concrete release date, Hamaguchi offered an encouraging update during a January 23, 2025 Famitsu interview. Development, initiated alongside FF7 Rebirth, is progressing smoothly, with a key milestone reached by the end of 2024. Kitase also expressed complete satisfaction with the finalized storyline, promising a satisfying conclusion for fans.

Timed Exclusivity Expected:

A March 6, 2024 Washington Post report suggests PlayStation secured timed exclusivity for the entire FF7 Remake trilogy. Given the release patterns of previous games – a one-year exclusivity for FF7 Remake (2020) and a six-month exclusivity for FF7 Remake Intergrade (PS5) – a similar timed exclusive launch for Part 3 on PS5 is highly probable, before subsequent releases on other platforms.

Square Enix's Multi-Platform Shift:

Despite the positive reception 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 multiple platforms is likely to follow.
