Although Square Enix has already decided when to announce Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, that time hasn't come just yet. But while promoting the newly released Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 ports of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that the third game in the trilogy will bring back the popular Queen's Blood card game as well as Cloud's snowboarding sequence from the original game.
"Queen's Blood is a very popular and beloved minigame, and I believe a lot of people are still wanting something like that," said Hamaguchi during an interview with Polygon. "I want to expand on Queen's Blood so that we are enhancing it, and giving you a more powered-up version of it when you see that third installment … Queen's Blood is still going to be available in the third installment. We just want to expand on it."
Hamaguchi declined to share many specific details about the snowboarding sequence, but he did say it won't simply be a minigame as it was in the original Final Fantasy 7. Instead, his team wants "to make sure that it's incorporated into the story to have that sort of connection with the theming of it."
As for the current state of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, Hamaguchi noted that the game is progressing on schedule and added that he believes it's currently "playable," but the team still intends to polish it before setting a release date.
Hamaguchi has previously said that the third game will "tighten the story" on its way towards concluding the reboot trilogy. In the meantime, a new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth art book will be released in July.
