Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second part of the remake trilogy of the original 1997 game, was released in February. While developer Square Enix hasn't confirmed a release date or official title for the final game in the remake trilogy, the game should likely launch on PS5 at some point in the console's current generation cycle. Now, the studio has provided an update on the release schedule for the third and final game in the Final Fantasy remake trilogy project.
Information about the game's release timeline comes as part of developer interviews published in the just-released Final Fantasy 7 Remake Ultimania companion book. An X user (@aitaikimochi) posted some snippets on the microblogging website last week, which claim that the story of Part 3 of the Final Fantasy 7 remake has already been completed and the game could arrive in three years.
According to excerpts from the book published on X, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura believes that voice recording for the game could begin soon. Additionally, Final Fantasy 7 Remake series producer Yoshinori Kitase said in the book that the development period for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was efficient because Square Enix retained the same staff from Final Fantasy 7 Remake (the first game in the new trilogy). Kitase said that the third part would also have the same development team.

According to Kitase, the third game in the remake trilogy could take the same amount of time to be ready as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which hints that part 3 could arrive in three years, which would place the release window sometime of 2027. Kitase said that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was completed in three years, with an additional year dedicated to DLC development.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launched on February 29, exclusively on PS5. It serves as the second game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake project and a sequel to Final Fantasy Remake, which was released in April 2020. Square Enix has not yet confirmed the title of the final game in the trilogy.
