Insider NateTheHate predicts Square Enix will announce Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 at Summer Game Fest 2026, marking the first public reveal of the trilogy's conclusion. The leak aligns with recent development updates from Director Naoki Hamaguchi and growing fan anticipation for the franchise finale.
Square Enix director confirms rapid development progress and over 40 playthroughs for the trilogy conclusion.
Square Enix has kept the title secret since January 2026, though insiders expect it to diverge from the 'Remake Part 3' naming convention used in leaks. The game is expected to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC simultaneously, potentially ending the series' history of PlayStation exclusivity.
Hamaguchi confirmed rapid development progress, stating he has completed over 40 full playthroughs of the conclusion. In recent discussions, he indicated that promotional efforts are progressing steadily. The director also acknowledged user demand for a simultaneous global release across all platforms.
The upcoming title follows Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, both PlayStation exclusives that defined the remake trilogy's narrative arc. Square Enix has shifted toward cross-platform releases for newer titles, suggesting a strategic pivot away from console exclusivity for this finale.
The event is set to broadcast on June 5th at 5 PM EST, providing an opportunity for the game's trailer debut and formal title announcement. Fans should treat NateTheHate's prediction as an unconfirmed insider claim rather than an official statement from Square Enix.
