Square Enix will change its strategy for its major releases to release them more regularly. Will this have an impact on FF7 Remake 2, as some fans on social media are already hoping?
The month of June is dedicated to Final Fantasy 16. The sixteenth installment of the legendary license will return in a completely different form: pure action RPG. Its critics are still waiting for their reassurance that roleplaying is left out of the game’s overall communication. Others are just waiting to find Cloud and his gang in FF7 Remake 2 aka Rebirth. However, you’ll have to wait until the release of FF16 for any news about the sequel. The wait shouldn’t be endless, and neither should Kingdom Hearts 4.
A new strategy at Square Enix, implications for FF7 Remake 2?
FF7 Remake 2 will only reappear when the time is right. We expect that Square Enix will be more generous after the release of Final Fantasy 16 on June 22nd and that the communication around the second part of this new trilogy will accelerate as the release gets closer. We would like to remind you that for the time being the launch window is still set for this winter between the end of December 2023 and the end of March 2024.

Of course it will work Final Fantasy 14
Hope for Kingdom Hearts 4
So no, absolutely nothing will change FF7 Remake 2, which would have been well advanced by this point. We feel sorry for our friends across the Atlantic who had false hopes. It is on the other hand on the side of the conclusion of this new trilogy (yet untitled), Kingdom Hearts 4 or even of DragonQuest 12 you will have to look at that.
If Square Enix really manages to use this new strategy, then the launch window between each game might not be as far apart as usual. It remains to be seen if the Japanese publisher will include its games. bonus thought of the blockchain in the lot. Square Enix remains stagnant, hinting in its financial results that it intends to increase its investments in this space.
