Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Producers Hint at Broader Release Plans

Dec 29, 2024 10:15 AM

In the latest news surrounding Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the game's producer, Yoshinori Kitase, acknowledged that while the sales figures were not as high as Square Enix expected, they are satisfied with the results. Kitase highlighted a shift in strategy for future titles, indicating that they cannot limit releases to a single platform anymore. This reflects a broader trend in the gaming industry where developers aim to reach more players across multiple platforms, including potential releases on PC and Xbox for the franchise.

Will Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 be available on Xbox and PC?

While there is no confirmed release date for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, producer Yoshinori Kitase has suggested that the team is considering multiplatform releases, which implies that Xbox and PC players may eventually see the game on their platforms, similar to how Rebirth will launch on PC next month.

Final Fantasy VII has a storied legacy as one of the most successful JRPGs, originally released in 1997 on the PlayStation. The game received a significant remake in 2020, which spawned Rebirth as part of a planned trilogy. The first installment was well-received, leading to high expectations for the sequels. The ongoing development and strategic changes reflect both the brand's heritage and the current gaming landscape's demands.
