Over two years since the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, anticipation for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 continues to grow, despite minimal updates from Square Enix. The game was notably absent from June's PlayStation State of Play, leaving fans disappointed. However, director Naoki Hamaguchi recently suggested that preparations for an announcement are progressing, with many hoping for a reveal at the upcoming Summer Game Fest, set for June 5-8, 2026. This event could mark a significant moment, especially as 2027 will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series. Square Enix has shifted its strategy for Part 3, intending to release it across multiple platforms simultaneously, contrasting with the exclusivity of its predecessors. Hamaguchi emphasized the need for a design approach that accommodates various platforms from the outset. While there is speculation that the game may also be revealed at The Game Awards later in the year, the gaming community remains hopeful for news at Summer Game Fest.
