Forever Entertainment has experience making video game remakes, including thePanzer Dragoonremakes to the planned futureremakes forTheHouse of the Deadand its sequelThe House of the Dead 2. The publisher even published a previous video game with licensing from Square Enix. It was the gameFear Effect Sedna, released back in 2018 and developed by French studio Sushee.
As part of the deal, the game remakes will maintain their original core gameplay and have major graphical upgrades. It’s unknown if the remakes will have graphic visuals on the level ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. So, players can expect the remakes to be faithful to the original games and have better visuals as well.
As one might expect, Forever Entertainment will be creating the remakes and earning a share of the profits from them. Reportedly, the publisher will earn more than 50% of the revenue generated from the remakes on all game platforms when they’re released. However, the studio will have to front the development costs on its own. Depending on the title, this may or may not be much of a burden for the publisher.
Since Square Enix has been around for years now, there are various possibilities on which of its game IPs will be getting remakes. This rules out the company’s more recent published titles, likeNier: Automata. Some players have already speculated that these could beremakes for theParasite Eveseries, which still has a strong fanbase to this day. While other players suggest the remakes could be games from theSaGaseries, theStar Oceanseries, or theDrakengardseries. Each of which have multiple entries in their respective series.
