In the most recent episode of the NateTheHate podcast, speculation arose regarding Square Enix’s potential announcements during the upcoming Partner Direct Showcase. Host NateTheHate suggested that fans can anticipate a release date announcement for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on the Nintendo Switch 2.
This assertion is a continuation of the conversation from last week, where NateTheHate initially projected a Summer 2026 release, pinpointing June as an optimal month. He theorizes this timing will closely align with Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest event, creating a significant promotional platform for the game.
Why would Square Enix choose to unveil Final Fantasy VII Rebirth amidst the buzz of the Summer Game Fest? According to NateTheHate, this could serve as a strategic opportunity to segue into discussions surrounding Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3. He stated, “My belief is that by launching the game in June, it paves the way for Square Enix to unveil details about Part 3 at Summer Game Fest.”
He elaborated, “This strategy ensures that Rebirth is available on all platforms simultaneously, facilitating discussions about Part 3. We can likely expect confirmation that Part 3 will release simultaneously across all platforms, including PC, without any timed exclusivity.”
NateTheHate further emphasized the necessity to target all gaming platforms for successful game launches, asserting that there is no longer a compelling reason to stagger release dates.
As for insights from Square Enix on the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3, recent statements indicate that progress is progressing smoothly, with the company nearing a point where further information can be revealed. Director Naoki Hamaguchi expressed enthusiasm, highlighting that they have successfully captured a pivotal emotional scene and that players can expect a new gameplay experience that caters to both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
If NateTheHate’s predictions hold true, and a trailer along with a release date for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth does indeed surface during the Partner Direct, fans can eagerly await the conclusion to the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. The first two installments faced limitations as PlayStation-exclusive titles, and launching Part 3 on all major platforms will undoubtedly enhance its reach and sales potential.
Tomorrow’s Partner Showcase promises to bring exciting revelations—time will tell what Square Enix has in store.
