Square Enix news: Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Kingdom Hearts 3, Avengers game

Square Enix news today starts with the latest on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

It’s been almost four years since the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was first announced back at E3 2015.

That year FF7 fans were in for a treat, with the Remake announced and a gameplay trailer later emerging at PSX 2015.

But since then news on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake has gone quiet, with the biggest announcement since 2015 a few new screenshots in 2017.

However, this looks like it’s about to change soon, with Final Fantasy 7 fans expecting news on the remake to drop in a month’s time.

It’s expected that Square Enix could be about to reveal more on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake at E3 2019.

The Shinjuku-based Japanese gaming giant have two major events taking place around the time of E3.

First up is a Final Fantasy 7 concert on June 9, followed by the Square Enix E3 2019 event the next day.
