Xenogears Remake Hopes Dim After Square Enix Boss Calls It A 'Tough Game' To Recreate
TL;DR
Square Enix’s Xenogears remake appears unlikely after Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi described remaking a game from that era as a “tough game” to recreate; Xenogears hasn’t been playable on modern hardware since the PS3 digital release and with storefronts for PSP/Vita closing, interest hinges on potential HD ports or a Xeno collection—ideally with Monolith Soft—in order to bring the cult RPG to current platforms.
