Resolution Criteria

This market resolves to the year in which the Final Fantasy IX Remake is officially released to the public. If the game is released in multiple regions on different dates, the earliest public release date will be used. If the project is officially cancelled or indefinitely delayed with no release date in sight by the end of 2030, the market will resolve to "Never".

Background

Final Fantasy IX was originally released in 2000 for the PlayStation and is considered one of the most beloved entries in the Final Fantasy series. Following the successful remakes of Final Fantasy VII, there has been speculation about a potential Final Fantasy IX remake.

Recent industry rumors suggest that a Final Fantasy IX Remake is in development. In early 2024, industry insider NateTheHate indicated that the remake is still in active development but is not expected to release in 2025, suggesting a possible 2026 launch instead. Additionally, Square Enix launched a 25th-anniversary website for Final Fantasy IX, which has fueled speculation about a remake, though no official announcement has been made.

Considerations

As of mid-2024, Square Enix has not officially confirmed the existence of a Final Fantasy IX Remake. The timeline options in this market are based on speculation and industry rumors. The actual release could be affected by various factors including development challenges, Square Enix's release schedule for other titles, and potential shifts in company priorities.
