As of the moment, the number of installments for the multi-part series is not yet announced.

"But if there are any areas where we can use the settings or the characters, we do want to try to incorporate it in there," Kitase added. He also stated that the remake would have changes to the script, and it will also offer new features and gameplay.

The remake is confirmed to appear at E3 2015. It is expected to be launched on September 30. Moreover, FF7 will be available first on PS4.
