Realistically, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III were never going to release in 2017. Heck, at this rate, we'll be lucky to see either of them at E3 this summer. But just in case you're still harbouring some hope that one of them will hit the PlayStation 4 before the year is out, we'd recommend giving this document from Square Enix a look.
Said document lists the publisher's current and upcoming titles. Both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III are noted, but neither of them have even a vague launch window attached, unlike Dragon Quest XI, which at least has '2017' under its logo. In other words, you should be setting your sights on 2018 and beyond for the aforementioned twosome. That goes for the company's unannounced Marvel game, too.
Are you at all surprised by this news? Keep on waiting in the comments section below.

They are never coming out.
No real surprise. Hopefully we see more of both at E3, though.
It's ashame SE skipped a whole generation with KH3 ( PS3/360.
Life eh!
I worry kh3 has been in the oven too long, and by the time it's released there will be much less interest in the IP. Not surprised about FF7
E3 and D23 are totally going to have Kingdom Hearts at least, because Gamestop had a sweepstakes to send someone to D23, themed around KH. My expectation is that KH 3 will be at both. Playstation Experience might have more on FF VII R.
But of course. I shouldn't be surprised, but I really just want KH3 to come out.
boggles my mind how sony can "win e3" by announcing games that will not come out for years and years. people are just too easily fooled by these announcements.
We heard about Kingdom Hearts 3 the year PS4 was coming out and we gonna get it the year PS5 is coming out! Wow
@AlejandroMora
Yup
We'll get Kingdom Hearts 3/1.5/2.5/3.8: The Premiere Before The Real instead.
Anyways, I don't see it coming out until Playstation 5 is talked about...seems like Square Enix is in the works on other projects, than a new Kingdom Hearts, either that, or they have too many other projects and not enough man-labor for the games that they announce. It'll come out one day, it could just be a license problem with the disney characters or a few glitches in the game itself. As for the Final Fantasy VII, I somehow never really enjoyed the PS1 title, so I'm not too concerned...my favorite Final Fantasy game that I really enjoyed was X. I'd rather have the Grandia titles make a comeback!
Honestly, I'm not surprised by this. Who knows when we'll ever get our hands on both of these games.
No chance we get either of them this year. I don't think Square would want to release both in the same year either. I think FFVII-1 2018, KH3 2019.
I consider it "fast" if we can play FF7 remake before 2020
Yeah, was never expecting FF7 this year. We've waited so long though that I don't feel especially impatient about it.
Disappointingly ridiculous.
We've seen less than 10 minutes of KH3 gameplay in the past 4 years. Food for thought.
@oatmealwarrior92 Agreed. My daughter and I had many laughs and fun with the first two. She's about to finish Uni and start work! Bloody SE buffoons
Square sure loves to make their fans wait.
Both games plus shenmue sadly are just ilusions 😞😞
I'm really really surprised at this news!..no really..
This year? How about this decade?
@ZurapiiYohane Cold storage? I've got a virtual cookie for you if you get the reference.
The whole kingdom hearts 3 development time is getting ridiculous. I know things take time but they just keep on pushing out remasters and remakes, probably to cover production costs. It's creating a hype that it can never live up to.
I'm not surprised. Wake me up when KH3 & FF7 Remake release before 2020.
