Square Enix has announced a FF7 25th Anniversary Celebration broadcast which may include a teaser for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2. Expectations for news on this remake should be tempered considering that the presentation will only be 10 minutes long, but there’s not much else that would cap off a milestone anniversary quite like this. The broadcast is scheduled to air on June 16 at 15:00 PT / 18:00 ET / 23:00 BST on Square Enix’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.

A brief statement from veteran Square Enix game designer Tetsuya Nomura reads:
We will be streaming “FINAL FANTASY VII 25th Anniversary Celebration”. At only around 10 minutes long, it will be short and sweet, but we have packed in lots of information, so I hope everyone can look forward to the unveiling.
While some fans have speculated that there might be news on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2, others have speculated that the remake will be released on Xbox consoles and/or that Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII could be getting a full remake treatment.
Given that this is a celebration encompassing everything related to Final Fantasy 7, it’s more likely that there will be news pertaining to Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, a mobile battle-royale game that’s already in its third season. We may also see more gameplay footage of Final Fantasy XVI, which was featured last week in Sony’s State of Play, but that’s likely not in the cards.
In other news, speculation suggests that there will be another PlayStation State of Play arriving later this month with an announcement of God of War Ragnarok’s release date, and The Last of Us multiplayer is apparently a major part of Sony’s live service efforts.
