The trilogy’s overall improvement has accelerated rapidly, surpassing expectations; with its final installment seemingly keeping pace, albeit at a more measured tone, according to Square? Enix’s Naoki Hamaguchi says.
Hamaguchi, artistic director of the acclaimed motion RPG, recently took to Twitter to reflect on his globe-trotting experiences promoting the game, revealing that the development team is hard at work on its eagerly anticipated sequel, with a tentative release date on the horizon.
“Currently, we’re focused on accelerating progress to ensure a swift launch of part three.”
Research into the technology began in 2022, with production scaling up significantly earlier this year. Producer Yoshinori Kitase has further underscored that Square Enix is committed to delivering high-quality games that meet the expectations of its fans and stakeholders. Enix is targeting a 2027 launch, with no definitive plans yet, but that’s the current aim.
