Work has already started on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, which will cap off Square Enix's trilogy when it's released sometime after 2023.
Nomura confirmed that "some development has already begun" on the as-yet unnamed third title in a note following today's livestream.
"I myself have started on the development and am working toward the completion of the series," Nomura wrote in a two-part message on Twitter.

His note followed the first trailer for Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, which offered a glimpse of the anticipated follow-up to Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Square Enix also announced Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, a remake of the PSP spin-off slated to release on PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC sometime this winter.
Nomura directed Final Fantasy 7 Remake, but is not helming Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. He continues to be involved in the project as a creative director.
As for Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, it'll be out in Winter 2023. And whatever the third part ends up being called? We'll just have to see, though Nomura says that development has been "progressing rapidly" since the team "adopted a new development structure." You can find his entire note below.
