More Final Fantasy VII spin-off games are in development at Square Enix, the publisher has teased.

Celebrating the game’s 25th anniversary, Square Enix shared a message from the Final Fantasy 7 director and its 2020 remake, which not only commemorated the game, but also hinted that more titles surrounding the game are currently being developed.
