Fans believe Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal could appear as The Game Awards trailer because Square Enix has quietly uploaded private videos.
The director, Naoki Hamaguchi, says the gameplay is nearly complete, and the franchise has a proven track record of major reveals at this event.
Two Private Videos And A Lot Of Chaos
So the Final Fantasy community kind of blew up this week after fans spotted two Square Enix hidden videos sitting on the official FF YouTube playlist. The playlist had a fresh update date, the timestamps on the hidden uploads were only minutes apart, and once GamerTifa7 posted about it on X, the whole thing turned into instant speculation fuel.

The timing feels suspicious, too. Back in October, Hamaguchi told Julien Chièze that the gameplay was “almost complete” and that the team was aiming to finalize the title before the end of 2025. Just pair that with sudden private uploads and you can see why people are getting excited.
Plus, Final Fantasy showing up at The Game Awards is basically a tradition now.
- the big FF7 trailer in 2019
- the Intergrade PC reveal in 2021
- the Rebirth trailer in 2023
And that leaked Square Enix December 2025 calendar literally highlights The Game Awards date, which lines up perfectly with how Japanese developers structure their marketing cycle. They carefully time their reveals to maximize global impact.
Still, it’s smart to keep things grounded. Those private videos could be a new trailer, but they could just as easily be tied to Intergrade port launching on Switch 2 and Xbox in January 2026. Both possibilities make sense, so fans are split.
And all of this is happening while other leaks are swirling around TGA 2025: the supposed Resident Evil Requiem leak, plus that demon statue hinting at a new Divinity project. The whole industry feels like it’s in pre‑show chaos mode, and the Final Fantasy mystery is just adding more fuel to the fire.
What’s Next For The FF7 Remake Trilogy?
The FF7 Remake trilogy has already had a long road. As we know, Part 1 came out in 2020, Rebirth followed in 2024, and both took years to develop. These releases are milestones that clearly fit into Square Enix’s broader franchise roadmap. We all know these games need time, but the excitement for Part 3 is already building.
Hamaguchi recently told Automaton that Part 3 has playable content running and that the team is even thinking about DLC earlier than before. It’s not a full update, but it shows the project is moving forward. It sounds great!
The Game Awards has basically become the biggest stage for global reveal trailers, which is why Square Enix keeps using it. This show reaches a massive worldwide audience, and Final Fantasy announcements always get huge attention there.
Fans across X, Reddit, and YouTube are already buzzing, hoping that Geoff Keighley’s stage will deliver the long‑awaited Part 3 trailer, with Tetsuya Nomura’s creative fingerprints all over it. The rumors and leaks have only made people more certain that something big is coming.
THEY DID IT AGAIN!
One of the hidden videos, on SE's Final Fantasy playlist on YouTube, is now GONE! 😱
Don't be too worried, though!
One of the hidden videos had been there for AGES. Multiple people said that it was an old, unused Crisis Core trailer?

For now, the best thing to do is keep an eye on the countdown to The Game Awards. Follow the official channels, watch for sudden updates from Square Enix, and stay alert as small signs usually start appearing in the days leading up to the show.
In past years, small hints like playlist changes or teaser clips have appeared just before the show. With so much hype building, we don’t want to miss any clue that points to the next big Final Fantasy reveal, right?
