An alleged Final Fantasy 9 remake has been the center of speculation for years, but the latest update suggests that it might be unwise to expect anything to come out of it. FF9 remake rumors originally picked up steam thanks to a major NVIDIA leak, which included the game in a database of other upcoming titles. At this point, it's clear that Square Enix was working on a remake in some capacity, but that may no longer be the case.
An X post from leaker NateTheHate2 responds to an FF9 remake query with the suggestion to "assume the game is on ice & the unknown is whether SqEx will return to it or not." This isn't the first time that NateTheHate2 has suggested development trouble. A ResetEra post from July suggested that it was "possibly cancelled," but with only one source, Nate thought it was presumably still in development.
While NateTheHate's latest update doesn't exactly contain any hard news, this is a case where no news is bad news. Years after the NVIDIA leak, fans are hoping to see a reveal of the remake, not a rumor that the game is no longer in active development.
