In a recent video featuring Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*, there’s a hint that the entire FF7 remake saga might be coming to Switch 2.
During Nintendo’s unveiling of its new console, Square Enix confirmed that *Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade* would be making its way to Switch 2, though a specific launch date is still under wraps. This announcement marks only the beginning of what promises to be an epic trilogy, with *Rebirth* (the second installment) already available on PS5 and PC.
The latest installment of Nintendo’s Creator’s Voice series features Hamaguchi, who shares his enthusiasm for developing on a Nintendo platform. What’s particularly intriguing are his repeated mentions not just of *Final Fantasy 7 Remake*, but of the entire series as a whole.
Delving into the new console’s capabilities, Hamaguchi expressed his belief that it possesses the power needed to support the *Final Fantasy 7 remake series* he is developing. He also mentioned that this is his inaugural project on a Nintendo system, stating, “It’s quite fitting to work on the *Final Fantasy 7* remake series, considering that the original game inspired me to pursue a career in game development.”
Concluding his video, Hamaguchi seemed to hint at a near-confirmation of the full trilogy hitting Switch 2: “With the arrival of the *Final Fantasy 7 remake series* on Switch 2, I’d be thrilled to see two generations come together and connect through these beloved characters.”
Currently, *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* remains a console exclusive for PS5, but signs indicate that a port for Switch 2 could be underway. Finally, we may get to enjoy Queen’s Blood on the go!
This raises some questions: What about Xbox? Furthermore, what implications does this have for the third installment? Will it also be a timed exclusive for PlayStation, or can we anticipate a simultaneous release across multiple platforms?
This is all part of Square Enix’s broader multiplatform approach that they aggressively embarked on in 2024, following the underwhelming sales of *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* and *Final Fantasy 16*.
While *Final Fantasy 7* certainly holds a larger fanbase, could we also see *Final Fantasy 16* make its way to Switch 2 in the future?
As for the third chapter of the *Final Fantasy 7* remake, series producer Yoshinori Kitase confirmed earlier this year that the storyline has been finalized. However, the timeline for its release—and the platforms on which it will be available—remains a mystery.
