Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3's official title has been reduced

The long-awaited conclusion Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, which began with the 2020s FF7 Remake and continued with the 2024 century FF7 Rebirthapproaching an official title. However, it's worth remembering that this is largely internal, and fans will still have a long wait to find out for themselves.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to take any longer for some fans to play it than for others. While Final Fantasy 7 Remake and FF7 Rebirth both released on PlayStation consoles first, series director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed in September that the last part of FF7 Remake the trilogy will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S. And while the final installment is still a few years away, it's nice to see how Square Enix has continued to keep fans informed.

Square Enix already knows when it plans to release Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3

According to the trilogy's director, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 has an internal release date, but Square Enix is reluctant to share.

News regarding the title comes from a Julien Chieze interview in October (found and translated via Genkin_JPN). During it, Hamaguchi revealed that he and creative director Tetsuya Nomura have “reduced [the title] down to two, and within this year we'll finalize which one.” In other words, by January 1st, Square Enix will have settled on an actual title for the next installment, but fans may have to wait for the next big reveal to find out for themselves.

When the next big reveal will come remains to be seen, though fans probably shouldn't expect it at the 2025 Game Awards this year. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is still pretty fresh, for example, but it's clear that Square Enix is continuing to move forward with the project. Perhaps, sometime after the reveal of the official title or its release, fans could find out what the second one was.

What Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3's Real Title Could Be

Damn speculation about the title of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 has been spreading ever since it was revealed as a multi-part release. First of all, it seems pretty clear that each title will retain the “Re” structure for consistency. That could change in theory, but based on this assumption, some possibilities (as discussed around the fandom and beyond) include the following:

Final Fantasy 7 Requiem
Final Fantasy 7 Resurrection
Final fantasy 7 renewal

Without going into spoilers, not only does each of these titles have a strong connection to Final Fantasy 7s narrative and themes, but each would also stimulate its own speculations. Considering the many changes over FF7 Remake and FF7 Rebirththat speculation can do a lot to build hype alongside the name, so no doubt Nomura and Hamaguchi both understand how important a decision it will be. If anything, we're a little jealous that they'll know for months, if not years, before fans do. After all Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 release date is probably years away.

If the development and release cycle of the last two games (2020/2024) is any indication, fans may see the final installment as early as 2028. Earlier is possible, in theory, but then or later feels more likely. Part 3 will inevitably be the exclamation mark on the project, so Square Enix will want to make sure it ends everything with a bang. Until then, each of these Final Fantasy 7 game has tons of content for players to enjoy.

Likewise, if they have enjoyed the first two FF7 remakes but never played the original, the next few years is prime time to go back and watch the end of the original before FF7 Remake Part 3 inevitably adds some twists to it.
