While the official reveal date for *Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3* has reportedly been decided by Square Enix, fans are still waiting for the major announcement. However, director Naoki Hamaguchi recently dropped some exciting details regarding what players can expect from the conclusion of the trilogy. While promoting the newly released Xbox and Switch 2 ports of *FF7 Remake Intergrade*, Hamaguchi confirmed the return of two highly anticipated features: the strategic minigame Queen’s Blood and Cloud’s classic snowboarding adventure.
The director acknowledged the immense popularity and love the community has for Queen’s Blood. Recognizing its success, Hamaguchi confirmed that the card game will definitely return in *Part 3*. Crucially, the team isn’t just bringing it back as is; they plan to significantly “expand” and “enhance” the ruleset, promising players a “powered-up version” of the minigame in the final installment.
Beyond card strategy, the iconic snowboarding sequence from the original *Final Fantasy 7* is also making a comeback. Hamaguchi noted that this time around, it won’t function merely as a quick, standalone minigame. Instead, the development team is focused on fully integrating the high-speed descent into the primary narrative. This integration is designed to ensure the sequence ties directly into the story’s themes, making it a more cohesive and meaningful part of Cloud’s journey rather than just a fun distraction.
