Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi hinted that the trilogy could be coming to Xbox and Switch in 2025 to reach a wider audience. The series has been exclusive to PlayStation 5 and PC, but this exclusivity period is coming to an end.
Final Fantasy VII Remake has been exclusive to PlayStation 5 and PC. However, it sounds like that could change in 2025. In an interview with (translation via Google Chrome), Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy director Naoki Hamaguchi was asked about his aspirations for 2025. Hamaguchi responded by saying that “we will continue to challenge ourselves to make the FFVII REMAKE series available to more game fans next year.
” Hamaguchi did not offer specific information about what platforms the games could come to, but it’s not hard to imagine which ones he’s talking about! Xbox Series X|S. In recent months, Square Enix has been working closely with Microsoft to bring more Final Fantasy games coming to the platform. Notably, we’ve seen Cloud and Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Square Enix has been a big supporter of Switch over nearly eight years, but there are a lot of games that the system simply could not handle. We’re probably going to see a lot of publishers bringing over games that had to skip the system, and both seem like very real possibilities. At this time, we don’t know how powerful Nintendo’s new system will be, but hopefully it will have no problem handling either game. While Hamaguchi wants the biggest audience possible to play these games, there’s another motivation behind bringing them to other platforms, and bringing them to additional audiences will help to spur sales. While PlayStation has been making deals with Square Enix in exchange for exclusivity periods for multiple Final Fantasy games, it seems that these deals have hurt more than helped. And the third one will as well. The period of exclusivity has passed for the first two entries, but there will be three months of exclusivity for the third game when it releases. At this time, a release window for the third game has not been announced, but we’ll likely be waiting another couple of years, based on the release schedule seen thus far
