Square Enix Sticks With Unreal Engine 4 for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3

Square Enix says a heavily customized UE4 offers the fastest, least disruptive path to finishing the trilogy.

  • Director Naoki Hamaguchi says Part 3 is already in a playable state as development continues.
  • In 2024 the team weighed a shift to Unreal Engine 5, but years of UE4 customization drove the decision to stay put.

  • Square Enix reiterates plans to release Rebirth and Part 3 on Switch 2, with optimization ongoing and no release date announced.
