Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3’s Name and Engine Have Been Decided

by

Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth, has confirmed that the third game in the series will also be built using Unreal Engine 4, and that its official name has been decided. This announcement comes as Square Enix continues to work on the popular Final Fantasy 7 Remake saga.

On January 22nd, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade became available on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S. While the game originally launched on PlayStation 4 six years prior, this release ended its period of being exclusive to PlayStation consoles. Before the Switch 2 and Xbox launch, Square Enix announced that the complete Final Fantasy 7 Remake series – including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and the currently untitled third game – will also be released on these platforms in the future.

The Name of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Has Been Decided

In a recent GameSpot interview, producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed that the final game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series has a confirmed title. Kitase shared that creative director Tetsuya Nomura made the final decision on the name after a conversation following Paris Games Week in late October. While Kitase previously mentioned the team had narrowed the title down to two choices and would finalize it before 2026, he didn’t disclose the official name or when it will be revealed.

Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will still be built using Unreal Engine 4. While Square Enix thought about upgrading to Unreal Engine 5 for the third game to take advantage of its improved graphics, the team decided sticking with Unreal Engine 4 was the better choice. Hamaguchi explained that it made more sense to work with an engine their developers already knew well and then customize it for the project. They used a similar approach with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, modifying Unreal Engine 4 to create the game’s open world. Since current gaming consoles and PCs can easily handle games built with Unreal Engine 4, keeping the entire Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy on the same engine could result in a smoother experience for players.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Looks to Give Fans What They Want

Square Enix intends to include Queen’s Blood as a mini-game in the final chapter of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. This collectible card game, which debuted in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, is played on a 3×5 board where players take turns placing cards to capture tiles and earn points. According to Hamaguchi, the version appearing in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will be enhanced and expanded, though specific changes haven’t been detailed.

With decisions to make about sticking with the Unreal Engine 4 and fixing the story pacing problems in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 has a lot on its plate. While Square Enix is still keeping details under wraps, we’ll eventually find out more about what’s shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited games of this generation.
