Square Enix Has Bad News for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Fans

Key Takeaways

  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth won’t have any DLC content.
  • The team at Square Enix is hard at work on the third Final Fantasy 7 Remake title.
  • Fans predict that the final game in the trilogy will be released in 2027 or 2028.

As a dedicated fan of the Final Fantasy series since its inception, I find myself both elated and disappointed by the recent news about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. On one hand, it’s fantastic to know that the team at Square Enix is working diligently on the final installment of this epic trilogy. The anticipation for Part 3 has been building like a Shinra Mega Reactor, and I can hardly contain my excitement.

Naoki Hamaguchi, director of “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth”, has made it clear that there will be no additional downloadable content for this game. Released in February 2024, “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” is the second installment in a planned trilogy, and the Square Enix team is diligently working on the final chapter at present.

In December 2024 at The Game Awards, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was nominated for seven prestigious awards, including Game of the Year, Best Score and Music, and Best Narrative. This RPG was one of the most successful games of the year, receiving an impressive 99% recommendation rate from critics on OpenCritic. With its massive open world and revamped versions of iconic scenes from the 1997 original, Rebirth has left audiences worldwide in awe. However, fans eagerly waiting for more content before the trilogy concludes will be disappointed to hear that additional content is not coming between now and the final game’s release.

In a conversation with the Daily Star, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Naoki Hamaguchi, shared that the team is intensely focused on developing the third game in the series rather than creating DLC for Rebirth. Although fans appear eager for additional Rebirth content, Hamaguchi believes they may be mistaken. “I can certainly relate to their enthusiasm, but I believe from my standpoint, what fans crave most isn’t necessarily DLC. They yearn to see the third part of the series as soon as possible,” he said, emphasizing that all their efforts are dedicated to expediting the release of the third game. While no further content is planned for Rebirth, Hamaguchi previously stated that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will be highly successful and could become one of the most cherished and popular games ever made in the video game industry. Furthermore, the beloved Queen’s Blood mini-game is set to return.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Won’t Be Getting DLC

The latest update reveals that the third installment of “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” is currently under production, leading many enthusiasts to speculate a potential launch date around 2027 or 2028. Although specifics about the final chapter are still scarce, it has been verified that characters Vincent and Cid will be playable after their initial appearances in “Rebirth.” In contrast to its role as a fast travel system in earlier titles, players will now have the freedom to commandeer the Highwind airship themselves. The extent of changes to the original story’s narrative in the first two remakes is known, but it remains undetermined how much will alter in Part 3.

Square Enix has a packed schedule, with 2025 set to deliver more well-known games such as the Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake and the possible Xbox launch of Final Fantasy 16. In a recent update, Naoki Yoshida, the mastermind behind Final Fantasy 14, unveiled plans for Final Fantasy 14 Mobile. This upcoming version will make the widely played MMORPG available on iOS and Android devices in the future. The game will encompass all content from A Realm Reborn and is scheduled to debut in China before being rolled out globally.
