Nate The Hate made a timely, but disappointing, update on the Final Fantasy 9 Remake.
He addressed this fan question as part of his latest podcast.
For those who don’t remember, Square Enix has not announced such a remake, but rumors about it have been around since 2023.
There were more recent rumors that the game was cancelled, as part of their three year plan restructuring from last year.
At the time, Nate said he heard it was still in development, but today he sings a different tune. Nate said this:
So, the last update I had on it was that the game is still on ice.
Now, on ice with Square Enix could mean they may return to it one day, but as far as I’ve heard, there’s been no new movement with it.
But hopefully, hopefully one day Square Enix returns to it and we may see a Final Fantasy 9 remake come to light.
