Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade only just launched on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, but ports of the other two parts of the trilogy are already in development, and director Naoki Hamaguchi promises that neither will be compromised on Nintendo’s new handheld console.
Hamaguchi has alluded to the fact that the entire Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is coming to all consoles before, but this is our first solid confirmation that ports are in development as we speak, per a new Nintendo blog post speaking to the lead developer.
“There’s not a huge amount of information I can share in terms of future games, but I can reassure players that we’re working on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second game in the series, and the third game too,” Hamaguchi says. “They are being worked on for Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other platforms right now.”
By other platforms, Hamaguchi likely means PS5, Xbox, and PC, which might also raise concerns around whether the handheld hybrid will be able to keep up tech-wise, especially since we don’t know how far Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 will push the envelope. Hamaguchi says we shouldn’t worry, though, all versions will be more or less up to par.
“One thing to reassure the fans who want to play these games on Nintendo Switch 2: I’ve got a personal policy where I don’t want to make any versions of my games different or offer a different gameplay experience just because they’re on different hardware,” he explains. “That might get confusing for players, and they might wonder which version of the game they should buy. That’s something I’d very much like to avoid. The Nintendo Switch 2 versions are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms, so I hope this reassures Nintendo Switch 2 players.”
Switch 2 ports of Star Wars Outlaws and Cyberpunk 2077 have already impressed greatly – a far cry from the days of the original Switch where games like Hogwarts Legacy or The Witcher 3 were noticeably blurrier and less detailed than every other version – so I’m inclined to believe Hamaguchi.
