It has been a while since developer Square Enix talked about "Final Fantasy 7 Remake," but it looks like fans will get to hear more about the game soon.

According to reports, new details about the remake will be revealed at the PlayStation Experience (PSX) this December. It was during the same event last year that a trailer for the game was released.

There is no confirmation yet that "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" will be featured at the affair, but reports suggest that Square Enix will, at least, give fans an update on the development.

PSX 2016 will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California on Saturday, Dec. 3. More information about the event can be seen on PlayStation's official blog post about the event.

As for the gameplay and story aspects of "Final Fantasy 7 Remake," fans who played the original which was released almost a couple of decades ago, will still enjoy surprises. This is what producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed in an interview with Game Informer.

"We have archived versions of our games, and a lot of times, people buy them and it starts off with nostalgia – but after that, you're essentially following the story you already know. That experience starts to diminish as you proceed through the game and the interest level starts to decline," Kitase explained.

"If it's just nostalgia, it's just a matter of following the story, and there wouldn't be any surprises. So, in that sense, we want to balance out the areas we would like change versus the areas we don't in order to have that nostalgia, but also the surprises," he went on to say.

He also said that some aspects of the game styles and battle systems in "Final Fantasy 7" had to be changed so that it can catch up to the changing times. After all, it's been almost 20 years since the original came out.
