FF9 Remake Finally Offering Release Window

2021 saw Nvidia’s GeForce Now inadvertently unveiling a lineup of upcoming games, among them a reimagining of Final Fantasy IX. Back then, Nvidia labeled these titles as “speculative,” but it seems that quite a few of them have since been confirmed and launched. However, not everything on the list has followed suit, with the remake of Final Fantasy IX being one such exception. Square Enix has been rather secretive about this project, keeping it under wraps to this day. Yet, whispers and rumors persist, fueled by gaming pundits and insiders like Nate the Hate. Recently, he shared a brief update on the remake’s progress via a Twitter post.

In reply to another user’s comment, Nate indicated that the remake is still being worked on actively. Despite a leaker suggesting that the game won’t likely release in 2025, there’s a chance it might come out in 2026. Although this isn’t as definitive as news from Square Enix, Nate the Hate has built up a solid reputation, so we might hear an official announcement about the remake soon. Fingers crossed for a formal unveiling in the not-too-distant future!

20 years ago, I got my hands on “Final Fantasy IX” for the original PlayStation, a game that’s still cherished by many gamers today. Back then, it was hailed by critics and has held up as one of the best Final Fantasy games on PS1, though opinions may vary on that point. The original version is easy to find these days, available across various modern gaming platforms. Yet, those hoping for a fresh, contemporary take on this classic will have to stay tuned for an official announcement in the future.

As a dedicated gamer eagerly awaiting any news about the potential remake of Final Fantasy IX, I can’t help but wonder where Square Enix might choose to release this classic game. With the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy currently exclusive to PlayStation and PC, it’s intriguing to consider the possibilities. Last year, Square Enix made it clear they’re adopting a multiplatform strategy, aiming to move away from timed exclusives of the past. This shift has been beneficial for Xbox users, and whispers in the gaming community hint at an increasing number of Square Enix games appearing on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. Fingers crossed that we’ll be able to explore the world of Final Fantasy IX across various platforms!

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the remake of Final Fantasy IX and the rumored remake of Final Fantasy Tactics. It appears that these long-awaited games may indeed be under active development, according to Nate the Hate. However, no specific release date has been revealed yet. Over the past four years, there’s been a lot of speculation surrounding these two games. I’m hoping we’ll get a sneak peek at both titles soon, and that an official announcement isn’t far behind!
