A well-known leaker talks about Square Enix’s plans for Final Fantasy 9 Dragon Quest Kingdom Hearts and more
Square Enix is ready to make some announcements while other games will remain in the background: a well-known leaker has revealed something about the Japanese company’s plans.
During the Summer Game Fest – between the Keighley Showcase and other dedicated events – we will have the chance to discover many new features from many different publishers. One of these will certainly be Square Enix , the company behind Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest. Now, a well-known leaker has had his say on various projects of the company.
Let’s talk about Midori , a well-known leaker that was born around the Atlus/SEGA rumors and is now expanding to other Japanese publishers. Various leaks of him have turned out to be correct, so we can assume that this time too he is sharing information that is not false.
Midori’s information on Square Enix games
In a series of tweets, Midori explained that Final Fantasy 9 Remake is still in development. It was not cancelled, but was previously being worked on by an external team: Square Enix, however, was not satisfied with what had been achieved and brought production back in-house. Development is already very advanced at this point, but the source has no information on the type of remake (it is not expected to be at the level of Final Fantasy 7 Remake) and does not have a release date. It could arrive by the end of March 2025, but that’s not certain. It also confirms that it will be a cross-platform game.

The Final Fantasy IX remake is still in development. It is a title that was not cancelled in the restructure of SQEX during this fiscal year.
According to conversations, the title was originally outsourced to another developer. But SQEX was not satisfied and development shifted.

He then adds that Square Enix will present some new information about their games at the Xbox Showcase , but Midori doesn’t know what these products are. At the Nintendo Direct, however, Dragon Quest 2D-HD will be present and states that it will not only be the third game but the entire trilogy. However, there don’t seem to be any surprises for the Summer Game Fest Showcase.
Finally, it seems that we can expect to discover new information on Missing Link – the Kingdom Hearts mobile game – and a collaboration with Fortnite, before receiving information on Kingdom Hearts 4 .
If you are interested in the upcoming announcements, the games that we will not see and which will certainly be at the Summer Game Fest Showcase have been officially indicated .
