In a recent broadcast for Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, Square Enix director Tetsuya Nomura—known for his work on both Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts—shared brief progress reports on Kingdom Hearts 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.

Translated by Aitaikimochi via X/Twitter, Nomura did not elaborate extensively but confirmed both titles are advancing according to plan. Notably, he revealed that the team has already settled on a timeline for the official reveal of Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3, urging fans to “stay patient” for details.

“About Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3… Toriyama mentioned news would arrive around the second anniversary of Ever Crisis. Development is advancing smoothly, though I can’t share specifics. Rest assured, we’ve locked in an announcement window and are adhering to it. Your patience is appreciated.”

Similar remarks were made regarding Kingdom Hearts 4, though no hints were given about an imminent showcase. Nomura emphasized steady progress, stating, “We’re moving forward on schedule. Further updates will follow in due time.”

Over three years have passed since Kingdom Hearts 4 was unveiled, and Nomura’s comments join a growing list of minor updates. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 has seen moderate developments, though recent speculation suggesting a 2028 release for the trilogy’s conclusion lingers. Fans hope the confirmed announcement timeline points to news sooner rather than later—unless, of course, that window is still years away.
