There are various speculations and rumors, but it is also true that Square Enix has made quite negative comments about the development of FF9 Remake.

If there are rumors that it will be released after 2026 as per this article, it may not be developed unless it is announced at a global game event in 2025 this year

Also, Japanese game makers have recently taken a fairly strict stance on security issues regarding information leaks and confidential information, so if all of these rumors are true, it would be a great surprise to see it become a flagship title.
