Earlier this month, publisher Square Enix promised that the company’s plans for 2022 would largely center around the milestone anniversary, which include the already released Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, a reimagining of the very first game in the series. Square Enix is currently supporting the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, and preparing the next mainline game, Final Fantasy 16, for release, however it appears there is more to come from the series.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s co-director, Tetsuya Nomura, teased during a live stream for the mobile game Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier (translated by Twitter user xenosaga7), that new information will be revealed next month regarding Final Fantasy 7’s 25th anniversary. Nomura did not clarify what this information would pertain to, however it is likely regarding both Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, an upcoming mobile game based on the events of the Compilation of Final Fantasy 7 and is confirmed to release this September, and the next installment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 has been teased multiple times throughout 2022, with producer Yoshinori Kitase most recently confirming that there will be an official announcement of the game this year. Last year, Tetsuya Nomura confirmed that he would not be attached to the sequel as a director as he continues development on the recently announced Kingdom Hearts 4.
Last year, Square Enix released Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade, which featured a DLC story centered around Yuffie Kisaragi that set the stage for the sequel. Since Intergrade’s release, Square Enix has openly discussed its plans to reveal the sequel some time in 2022, with a release planned shortly after. The reason the game has not yet been announced yet is likely due to the delays in development of Final Fantasy 16, which is currently finalizing development.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
