Square Enix news starts with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake once again being voted by gamers as their most anticipated game on the horizon.

A poll that appeared in the most recent issue of Famitsu put the Final Fantasy 7 Remake as readers’ most anticipated upcoming game.

The FF7 Remake received hundreds more voted than the second placed game, Devil May Cry 5.

The news comes as fans have been left wondering whether Square Enix will be holding an event on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake soon.

It was previously rumoured earlier this year that a big Final Fantasy 7 Remake event could take place in April.

And in a post on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Reddit page fans have been left wondering if there’s any truth in this rumour.

As one fan pointed out: “I don’t think the 4chan rumor for the April event is real but i do think their could be an April event just not the one from the leak, However this quote right here from the investors briefing is interesting.”

The quote the Redditor pointed out, from a recent Square Enix briefing, said: “I cannot go into any detail at the moment, but I believe we will be able to make various announcements in the leadup to this year’s E3.”

The Reddit user went on to say: “When they say ‘in the leadup to this year’s E3’ leads me to believe they mean in the months prior to E3 … possibly end of March?

“Probably more likely sometime April is where I would place my bets.

“Not sure how they will break the silence, call me crazy but event or no event I think early April is gonna end the dry season.”

In other Square Enix news, Kingdom Hearts fans have been given a boost about whether the PS4 and Xbox One JRPG will be getting DLC.

Kingdom Hearts 3 looks set to get free and paid for DLC as well as the inclusion of a critical mode.

The huge Kingdom Hearts 3 news was revealed by director Tetsuya Nomura, who also announced that there wouldn’t be a Final Mix version of KH3.

Nomura-san said that he’s planning on adding all future extra content to Kingdom Hearts 3 via downloadable content.

Revealing more about the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC recently, the Square Enix icon said: “While we’ve previously prepared ‘Final Mix’ versions as separate packages, this time I want to add all additional elements through downloadable content.

“We will offer free downloadable content from what can be done through additional updates, but we’re also planning paid downloadable content to release several elements together as a batch.

“That being said, paid downloadable content will take a little while to produce, but I would like to finish within the year and have the team move on to its next work.”

Nomura-san also revealed that a critical mode for Kingdom Hearts 3 is going to be added in an update at a later date.
