FF7 remake dev now completely in-house

Square Enix has decided to stop working with external studios and develop the hotly anticipated Final Fantasy VII remake completely in-house.

Square Enix has decided to completely develop the hotly anticipated Final Fantasy VII remake in-house, as revealed by Square Enix’s Naoki Hamaguchi during a recent Mobius Final Fantasy (via Kotaku).

Square Enix was previously working with external studio CyberConnect2 on the upcoming Final Fantasy VII remake, but as Hamaguchi reveals the company assumed complete control of the project for quality and scheduling purposes:

‘Up until now, development has progressed by receiving external collaboration, but from here on out, with production and quality in mind, we’re shifting to our in-house organization. This company decision was made wanting to control quality as well as keeping the schedule stable.’
