TheFinal Fantasyfranchise is currently in a state of limbo. WhileStranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Originis set for release this month, the arguably biggest two entries in the franchise have fans currently awaiting news, developments, and reveals. The first, of course, isFinal Fantasy 16. After COVID hit development on that game hard, fans learned they would find out more about it sometime this spring.
The second, perhaps even bigger, isFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2. Square Enix does intend to reveal new information regardingFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2sometime this year, much to many fans’ delight. Of course, a reveal and a release are two completely different entities, and it doesn’t seem likely to be a 2022 release. It could be, but it seems doubtful. But, there is a likely time when that reveal could be.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 – Square Enix’s E3 2022 Trump Card?
It’s best to avoid putting out new much information on different games in the same franchise back to back. AfterStranger of Paradise’s release, the next thing fans can expect isFinal Fantasy 16’s showcase, and to give each of them proper time,Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2’s showcase would likely and understandably come a couple of months after.
Vaguely speaking, this would likely push any sort of majorFinal Fantasyreveal into the summer, and if it is going to take place over the summer, then it only makes sense for Square Enix to tout it as its big E3 reveal. E3 has been hazy in terms of details as of late, but it does seem theE3 event will take place digitally. Last year’s E3 had its hiccups, but hopefully with a year to iron them out, each major publisher can have some big showcases.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2’s Reveal at E3 Would Also Be a Nice Anniversary
However, it’s not just because the timing thatFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2being at E3 makes sense; it would also be theanniversary ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake’s reveal. In June 2019, Square Enix showcased the first game at E3, revealing a release date and giving the biggest look thus far, and to see the second game there three years later would have some nice symmetry. Between the timing and E3 anniversary of sorts, it seems like the perfect place and time to show off the game.
Not to mention, E3 is the place to show off the big guns. Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, and every other major gaming company will likely try to do the same, but there’s not a better card to play fromSquare EnixthanFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakeis available now on PC, PS4, and PS5.
