Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi in an interview with the Daily Star said the game won't be getting any DLC as it means part three of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy will be able to come out sooner.

"We definitely do hear the desire from fans, the voices out there that want that kind of thing," said Hamaguchi. "I understand it completely, but I think, from my perspective, what the fans really want to see the most is not necessarily DLC. They want to see the third part of the series as quickly as possible.

"So that’s why we’ve decided not to focus the development resources on creating additional extra episodes for DLC at the moment. We really are putting all our efforts into getting the third game out as quickly as we can. So for the moment, that’s where we’re focusing our time."

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth released for the PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024.

I hope for 2027 release date.

It took them less than four years to create the second game, with a generational leap included, so actually having a shorter development time for the third game seems plausible. Obviously that's still a terribly long time, but by today's standards, it's kind of excellent.
