Final Fantasy 9 Remake Is Going Through Hard Times

Things may not be going well for Final Fantasy 9 Remake, which has been rumored to be in development for a long time. A reliable leaker has claimed that the project is experiencing serious problems and is even on the verge of cancellation. While Final Fantasy fans have expressed their concerns about these rumors, the fate of the production remains uncertain.

Cancellation Rumors About Final Fantasy 9 Remake

Speaking on the ResetEra platform, a well-known leaker named “NatetheHate” stated that Final Fantasy 9 Remake is still in development, but that he heard about the project “having problems” about a month ago. According to the source, although only one person has received information about the possibility of cancellation, this rumor has caused a great resonance in the gaming community. He added that he will conduct new research to reach definitive information.

A remake of Final Fantasy 9 has been rumored for a long time. Especially the special website opened as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations and Square Enix’s excerpts from the game’s final scene in social media posts increased expectations that this remake was really on the way. The success of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy also made this project more meaningful.

However, these latest developments show that the project is facing more difficulties than expected. Although there has been no official statement from Square Enix, recent layoffs and restructuring within the company may be affecting the fate of Final Fantasy 9 Remake.

On the other hand, while there have been hints that Final Fantasy 16 could be ported to Switch 2, it is stated that Xbox sales are below expectations. All these developments may lead Square Enix to re-evaluate which projects it will prioritize in the future.
