However, for the time being, we can only confirm a PS5 release, and it seems unlikely that Square Enix will develop a port for the previous generation.We are unsure if Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the big PlayStation third-party exclusive that was been speculated on before, though it certainly fits the bill. We learned that not only have we got a second part of the series to look forward to, but also a third and final entry in what has been dubbed the 'Remake trilogy.' Creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed on Twitter that "some development has already begun on the third title".Cloud and Sephiroth roaming the plains of GaiaIf there are any changes to the game’s exclusivity, we’ll update this article to keep you informed.
