Final Fantasy 7 Remake part 3 might be out sooner than you'd think
Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Remake project has one more entry on the way, and it might not take as long to make as you might think. These days, we're lucky if we get a sequel to a game once every four or five years, with development times and budgets ballooning in recent years. Final Fantasy 7 Remake took a good five years to come out after it was announced, and Rebirth released a full four years after that. But, according to the most recent Final Fantasy 7 Ultimania, it appears that we won't have to wait quite as long for the third part, whatever it might be called. Twitter user Audrey recently translated some excerpts from the Ultimania, stating that the game's producer Yoshinori Kitase mentioned that "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was actually done within three years since about one year was developing the DLC, and he hopes to be able to stick with that schedule for Part 3 too" (in Audrey's own words). That would mean the next part would be released some time in 2027, which isn't too long of a development period overall. Presumably Square Enix will use the same open world map again, with some additions that haven't appeared in the remake just yet, but of course we'll have to wait and see. The Golden Saucer in Rebirth did tease a snowboarding mini-game, and the original game famously has Cloud taking part in the sport literally right after that famous, spoilerific Aerith scene, so presumably we'll be able to head back there.
