Square Enix has confirmed that they are working on developing Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2. The producer of the game Yoshinori Kitase shared the development update of the game in a recent interview with The Guardian.
Kitase also talked about the coronavirus pandemic and how it is affecting the development of the game. However, he is hopeful that it won’t have a long-lasting effect on production. He also mentions how the development of the game is being done remotely. This is another factor that causes inefficiency in working together.
I am pained and saddened to see so many people around the world suffering with the virus and even losing their lives. When we set the release date for the game, nobody could have predicted a global pandemic like this, and the release of the game happening during this unprecedented situation has blindsided us.
Kitase admits that nobody was expecting the pandemic to have such a global impact, which came after the release date was set for the game.
At this current time, the team are still making the next game via remote working. Our performance will temporarily drop below 100% efficiency because of this, but I do not think there should be a big impact in the long term. I sincerely hope that Final Fantasy VII Remake can provide those who are forced to endure the stress of living under lockdown a moment of relief and enjoyment in these trying times.
Nonetheless, it will certainly please a lot of fans and also assure them that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 is currently under development. Kitase’s hopefulness in these tough times also assures that fans will not have to wait too long for the game now that the development is still underway, even if it is being done remotely.
