Insider NateTheHate reported on X that Final Fantasy IX Remake is "frozen." According to him, it is unclear whether Square Enix will return to working on the game at all.
The information coincides with previous reports of production problems and the possible closure of the project.
Earlier this year, it seemed that development was active: a new page appeared for the 25th anniversary of the series, and Square Enix published a quote from the finale of the original game. At the time, fans took this as a hint of an imminent remake announcement.
Since then, the situation has changed — more and more signs indicate that the project has stalled. For fans who consider the ninth installment one of the best in Final Fantasy history, this news sounds especially sad.
