Don't Expect Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Until At Least 2018

Square Enix has still yet to provide a release date for Kingdom Hearts III or Final Fantasy VII Remake, but if you were holding out hope that either one would launch this year, things aren't looking good.

A recent investors document the company shared (via NeoGAF) highlights many of the company's recent major releases, as well as those expected in fiscal year 2018 (which began at the start of April) and beyond. Whereas several of these future games, including Dragon Quest XI, have at least vague "2017" dates listed, Kingdom Hearts III, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and the upcoming Marvel gameshave nothing at all.


While this is not a formal announcement that none of these will release this year, it seems incredibly unlikely that we see any of them before 2018 at the earliest.

That comes as little surprise. The Marvel partnership was confirmed not that long ago, while comments from Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy VII Remake director Tetsuya Nomura earlier this year reinforced that neither of those projects was on the verge of release.

"While I can't make a sweeping statement because the development process is different from what we've done so far, there are still worlds untouched," he said of Kingdom Hearts III at the time. "Production is progressing on unannounced worlds, in a state that we cannot show them off. In terms of the state of development, there is still some way to go.”

Despite that, he did express interest in at least sharing something from the two games at some point in 2017.

"Last year, I didn't put out much information on either title, but this year I want to show our progress at an event somewhere," he said. "The release of the titles themselves have still have a way to go. But there are many titles releasing this year, if you can wait for any 'surprises.'”

Can't let eidos keep saving u square. Dropping a flagship game every ten years ain't enough

 

[Mowgli]

Damn they basically done for the year

No hitman this year?

 

[Arris]

kh3 is probably gonna come out spring time of 2018.

final fantasy 7? probably not till 2019

 

[Kingshango]

KH3 is a PS4 swan song at this point and FF7R is gonna fukk around and be a PS5 game.

 

[Prince Luchini]

We've known about KH3's existence for about 4 or 5 years and all we've seen are a handful of screenshots, 10 seconds of gameplay and blurry gameboy color off screen footage. shyt we don't have a solid year when this shyt drops

 

[Tunez]

SMFHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Blow em up

 

[Prince Akeem]

Is this really a surprise to some of you?

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

Is this really a surprise to some of you?

Seriously. It took them 10 years to release FF15.

 

[The D-List Vet]

Seriously. It took them 10 years to release FF15.

it was not even FF15 at the start, it was just a spin off of 13 that looked better then the mainline 13 at the time

 

[Rekkapryde]

them nikkaz ain't shyt

 

[the_FUTURE]

gives them more time to put the games on Switch.

 

[Phillyrider807]

Nomura said in a interview a couple months back that both KH3 and FF7 still has ways to go. So no one was expecting either of them this year.


E3 still holds all the cards. They HAVE to show a 2018 release year at the end of the trailer of the fans are simply gonna crucify SE at this point.

KH3 in 2018 is the absolute latest that game can come out and fans still care.

[Just like bruddas]

these japanese devs are so full of themselves. Now I know why Konami was so fukking mad with hideo, fukk you gonna take half a decade to release a game spending millions of dollars in the process.
