Square Enix currently planning out the scope for the second game.

Speaking to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, Final Fantasy VII Remake director Yoshinori Kitase could not say how many games the remake project will consist of “because we don’t know ourselves.”

Kitase added that the development team is currently in the process of planning out the scope for the second game while simultaneously finishing up the development of the first game.

Part one of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, which spans two Blu-ray discs and covers all of Midgar, is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 3, 2020.

Update 6:20 p.m.: Game Informer reports Kitase saying that he does not believe development on further entries in the remake project will be much shorter than development of the first game.

According to Kitase, while characters and such are done, which will make some things easier, new environments will likely still take some time. “I do not expect it to be dramatically shorter,” he said.

Square Enix public relations sent Game Informer a follow-up e-mail following that statement from Kitase. The e-mail said, “While the development team finishes the first game of the project, they are also planning the volume of content for the second. Due to the work already done on the first game, we anticipate that the development of the second game will be more efficient. However, for now we would like to focus on the development of the first game.”
