Scott Baird is a contributor with over a decade of experience writing about video games, as well as board games and tablet RPGs. Scott has worked for Dexerto, Cracked, Dorkly, and Gamepur.

The release of the final entry in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is just around the corner, as the director has confirmed that the game is in a playable state.

Square Enix fans listening to Sony’s February 2026 State of Play were left disappointed, especially after many expected to see the next Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The developers have been expressing how well the development of the game has been progressing, stating that it is ready for release.

Final Fantasy 7 could have been very different.

In an interview with Automaton, Director Naoki Hamaguchi discussed the production of the as-yet-untitled final entry in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. The game is now playable, although it is still being refined, and needs a lot of work before it is ready. Hamaguchi believes that it is time to reveal more about this game.

The good news about the next Final Fantasy 7 Remake raises questions about when the game will be officially revealed and when it will be released.

According to the announcement, it will probably be shown at Summer Games Fest 2026, unless Square Enix decides to host a dedicated event. It’s unlikely to appear on Sony State of Play or Nintendo Direct, assuming the game is confirmed as multiplatform.

The game is already in a playable state, and right now, we are in the final stages of pushing, refining and building the experience.

As for the release, there is a good chance that it could launch in September 2027, as this marks the 30th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy 7. This gives the devs more time to perfect the game while keeping it away from Grand Theft Auto 6.

At a time when many games are delayed or canceled, it’s good to see something good from the developers of the most anticipated title. Hopefully, all this development time allows Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 to stick around, especially since Reincarnation stumbled with its ending.
