Final Fantasy 7 Remakeitself arrived back in 2020 after multiple delays and pushbacks, so it’s important that Square Enix doesn’t follow the same path withPart 2, which is apparently going to be showcased this year.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakewas one of the greatest launches from the franchise over the past years that ended the hunger from the series' fans for a story-driven experience afterFinal Fantasy XV.
Now, whileFinal Fantasy XVIis the mainstream project from the franchise under development, there are other projects as well, which you might already know about them.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Originis currently the closest project to launch from the franchise. After that, we should probably anticipate the arrival ofFinal Fantasy XVI, and later on,Final Fantasy VII Remke Part 2should be available if there is no other surprising project in the pipeline.
While the release windows forFinal Fantasy OriginandXVIare already announced, we could probably get more information on when to expect the second part ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakedrops later this year.
If Everything Goes According to Plans, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 Will Be Revealed This Year
In a recentanniversary eventforFF7, the director behind the original version ofFinal Fantasy 7, Yoshinori Kitase, revealed that we can expect to receive more info aboutPart 2this year.
When Kitase was asked about when we could expect the announcement ofFF7 Remake Part 2, he said:
Well yeah. We just started the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, so we want to celebrate and get fans excited, so within the next 12 months we want to share some information. Look forward to more information!

While you should probably tone down your expectations to a short confirmation teaser, let’s hope for a detailed look at the game when it’s ready.
It’s yet to be seen whether Square Enix would follow a similar policy in launching the second part of the game or not. The first part was released on PC over a year after its launch on PS4. And it wasn’t a proper port, to be honest.
