When Does Part 2 Come Out? | Part 2 Release Date | FF7 Remake

This page is about part two of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7R), and predictions as well as a potential release date for the sequel. If you are wondering when part two will come out, what part of the story it will cover, as well as how many parts there will be total, please read on!

When Does Part Two (The Sequel) Come Out?

Most likely will have a faster development than part 1

The following tweet was from the FF7 Remake official twitter. It highlights some of the points about FF7 in an interview with Yoshinori Kitase, the game's producer.

From the tweet above, we can gather the following information about the sequel.

Therefore, we can predict that it will take a much shorter amount of time to make part two than it did for the original.

★ Possibly around two to three years?

Tetsuya Nomura, director of the game, said that the development time of part 2 is dependent on how many parts they decide to split the game into; less and larger parts will take longer to develop while more but shorter parts could be released sooner. In order to keep up with the level of quality they've established with part 1, however, it's unrealistic to expect part 2 within the next year.

Many news outlets have claimed that the next release will be smaller due to comments Nomura made, but this has been slightly misinterpreted. Nomura stated

Personally I would like to release the games quicker to make things easier... The fans likely feel this way as well (laughs).

Nomura is claiming that he would personally like to release the remaining parts just as quickly as fans want to play them, but there are many factors involved and nothing is finalized. With all of that said, be on the look out over the next few years as we may begin to hear more information!

What system will the next part be on?

FF7 Remake Part 2 will most likely be released on PS5. However, if we take into consideration the amount of PS5 units that have sold at the time, it is possible that it could see a release on PS4 as well.

What Will Happen in Part 2?

Warning: FF7 Remake Part 1 Spoilers Ahead! Also, this is still just a prediction!

Will follow the same story as the original

While initially speculated that, based on the ending of part 1, part 2 would be vastly different from the original, this has turned out to be untrue according to an interview featured in the Ultimania released last month.

Yoshinori Kitase and Tetsuya Nomura both would like to continue following the story of the original Final Fantasy 7, with Kitase saying that

There are a lot of locations and scenes that fans of the original are looking forward to seeing in the remake so I'd like to avoid removing them. So for the following parts we have no plans of making something completely new and continue with FFVII staying FFVII.

But as with part 1 the script and the events that occur along the way may end up different or expanded upon. Nojima also stated

I'd like to try and add some cities and locations that debuted in Crisis Core as well.

While Crisis Core shares many locations with Final Fantasy 7, it also introduced some new ones as well, like the abandoned village of Modeoheim where Zack first meets Cloud on a mission and could potentially tie into how Cloud viewed their relationship among other things.

While nothing is set in stone now and this is only speculation, there is a chance we could see some of these locations make a reappearance to deepen the FF7 lore.

Potentially more inclusion of the Shinra and Wutai conflict

In Part 1, we saw Heidegger and other Shinra members fueling the conflict with Wutai. In the original, Wutai had suffered from war, and completely lost all power. However, in the remake, we see pictures of Avalanche secretly backing Wutai, as well as Barret's party being a personal supporter of Wutai, and other changes with opposition involving the Wutai people.

In the sequel, we might see a full on conflict with Shinra and Wutai. And along with the involvement of Wutai, it's highly likely that we'll also see the inclusion of Yuffie, who would naturally join your party this time (although she was an optional character in the original).
