As to when the game will be released, that’s really anyone’s guess although earlier this year it was revealed that the game still had a long way to go. How long, you ask? If you were hoping to see it this year, you can pretty much forget about that because it seems that we might only be able to expect it in 2018 at the earliest.
This is based on an investor’s document shared on NeoGAF in which it was revealed that some of the company’s major releases will only be seeing a launch in the 2018 financial year which begins at the start of April. Note that the screenshot above says “and beyond” which means like we said, titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake and the latest Kingdom Hearts will see a 2018 release at the earliest, and it is possible that it might even be released in 2019 or later, but we’re really hoping that is not the case.
We suppose it is better that the developers take their time with their games instead of just rushing them out to meet a deadline, since a buggy game or something that feels rushed certainly won’t be doing anyone any favors.
