Square Enix has officially confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, along with the upcoming third entry in the remake trilogy, is being developed for additional platforms beyond PlayStation. In a new interview on the company’s official blog, director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that both titles are planned for release on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S.
“Naturally we want to bring these games to as many people as possible,” Hamaguchi stated. “So yes, we are working to make it so that players can enjoy both Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the third game in the series on a wider range of platforms in future, such as Xbox and Switch 2.” He went on to assure fans that those starting their journey with Final Fantasy VII Remake can do so confidently, knowing the complete trilogy will be available across multiple systems.
Hamaguchi also discussed the reasoning behind the trilogy format. He explained that the scale of the original Final Fantasy VII was so vast that a single remake would not have done it justice. Dividing the project into three parts allowed the team to capture the growth of Cloud and his companions across different narrative arcs.
The first game, Final Fantasy VII Remake, covered the Midgar section of the story, focusing on introducing Cloud and his allies. The second, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, expands the world and highlights the relationships and emotional bonds between the characters. Looking ahead, Hamaguchi described the third installment as a culmination that will unify every story thread into a conclusion designed to leave a lasting impression.
“The third and final part, which is currently in development, will bring all the stories told so far together for an epic culmination that will leave a lasting impression on players,” Hamaguchi emphasized.
With Rebirth already available on PlayStation and PC, and the confirmation of future releases for Switch 2 and Xbox, Square Enix appears committed to making the entire Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy accessible to a broader audience than ever before.
