Rumors of a Final Fantasy 9 remake for PlayStation 5 have been circulating for years thanks to the infamous 2021 NVIDIA GeForce Now leak, which included a list of several "unannounced" games that have since proven to be real. However, recent rumors suggest that the project may officially be "on ice," according to a leak from NateTheHate at least, and it's unclear just how much longer fans will be waiting before the project gets official confirmation.
As Final Fantasy 9's 25th-year anniversary came and went last year, many fans felt it would have been the ideal moment for an official announcement of the remake, but ultimately ended the year empty-handed.
