A new leak may provide an update on the rumored Final Fantasy 9 and 10 projects.
The release of Final Fantasy 9 was originally scheduled for summer 2024, although there might have been alterations to the plans. Additionally, it seems that the development of the Final Fantasy 10 remake is being carried out by a limited team and might not be completed in time for the game's anniversary.
A trusted source has shared updates for Final Fantasy fans about upcoming games in the franchise, including the highly anticipated remakes of Final Fantasy 9 and Final Fantasy 10. With the recent success of Final Fantasy 16 and the anticipation building for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, set to launch in 2024, it's an exciting time for fans of the series.
Fans can also look forward to two DLC expansions for Final Fantasy 16, as well as the game's release on PC. Additionally, there will be more news to come regarding Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Some devoted fans may already be wondering about the future of the long-standing RPG series once FF7 Rebirth and the post-launch support for FF16 are complete. Surprisingly, it seems that a remake of Final Fantasy 9 may be next in line.
The highly anticipated Final Fantasy 9 remake was first leaked a long time ago. However, a reliable leaker known as I'm a Hero Too has provided a recent update with some interesting details related to Square Enix. According to their information, the release date for the Final Fantasy 9 remake, originally planned for the summer of 2024, may have been subject to changes. Additionally, the leaker mentioned that the development team for the Final Fantasy 10 remake is currently quite small, implying that it may not be released in time for the game's anniversary. Furthermore, there were vague references made to Final Fantasy 10-3, but it remains uncertain whether this project is connected to the FF10 remake.
In the same leak, it was mentioned that Square Enix has acquired new PS5 dev kits which may potentially be the rumored PS5 Pro console. Although no official announcement has been made regarding this console, rumors suggest that Sony is indeed working on revisions for the PS5. If the PS5 Pro does not become a reality, there is solid evidence pointing towards the development of a PS5 Slim model.
Regarding other Final Fantasy leaks, there are reports that Square Enix possesses a Nintendo Switch 2 dev kit and has successfully ported Final Fantasy 7 Remake to Nintendo's upcoming console. There is speculation that Final Fantasy 7 Remake could be released as a launch title for the next Nintendo console, but the leaker was uncertain about the accuracy of this claim.
Take leaks with a grain of salt, even if they have been accurate in the past. Currently, the only confirmed future Final Fantasy ventures are the FF16 DLC, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and the mobile game Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis.
