In a surprising turn of events, Square Enix has officially revealed that fans of *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth* should not expect any major story expansions in the near future. Rather than developing additional content for the current title, the renowned game developers are shifting their attention towards the much-anticipated third installment of the remake trilogy.

In an exclusive interview with the *Daily Star*, game director Naoki Hamaguchi expressed his understanding of the fanbase's desires for additional content. However, he emphasized that what players truly crave is the third game in the series. "We definitely hear the desire from fans; the voices out there that want that kind of thing," Hamaguchi stated. He further clarified, “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.”

This news may come as a disappointment to many fans, especially with rumors of a possible story DLC swirling around after Hamaguchi hinted at exploring “further expansions” related to the popular minigame, Queen's Blood. However, he reassured fans that the development team is entirely focused on delivering the next chapter in the trilogy without any diversions into intermediary expansions, similar to *Final Fantasy VII Remake’s* *Intermission* DLC.

Although the news regarding substantial story DLC might not resonate well with all players, there's still hope on the horizon. Hamaguchi's comments suggest that while they are not prioritizing major expansions, smaller content updates or themed DLC related to Queen's Blood could still be a possibility in the future—though nothing has been confirmed.

As we await the next thrilling installment, fans can take solace in knowing that the Square Enix team is dedicated to crafting an extraordinary conclusion to the *Final Fantasy VII* saga. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, as exciting times lie ahead within the world of Midgar!
