Part 3 of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy could switch over to Unreal Engine 5 if Square Enix decides it would speed up development and get the sequel into players' hands more quickly.
In a machine-translated interview with Japan-based publication CG World (thanks, Genki), director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth took four years to develop in tandem with the Remake DLC Intermission. Very little has been revealed about the next game in the series, but Hamaguchi knows folks want to play it as soon as possible and is even considering changing engines to get the job done more efficiently.
