Final Fantasy VII: Revelation

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the third and final part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, set for release on April 8, 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Square Enix has shown playable demos at Tokyo Game Show 2026 and Brasil Game Show 2026, and the game's battle system and world traversal are now detailed through hands-on previews.

Synthesized from 13 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation on June 5, 2026, as the final part of its remake trilogy. The game was initially set for spring 2027, then given a concrete date of April 8, 2027, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. A trilogy pack with Remake and Rebirth opens preorders the same day as the date reveal. Pricing starts at 9,900 yen.

Coverage since the announcement has focused on the game's scale and systems. Director Naoki Hamaguchi said every location from Rebirth returns, and the team built traversal by chocobo, parachute, and the airship Highwind so those regions play differently. The Highwind lets players fly freely and parachute to any destination, including new areas Mideel and Wutai. A job system called WEAR lets characters change roles such as Warrior, Black Mage, Knight, and Summoner, altering abilities and appearance. Previews in September described a Chapter 4 demo with nine routes and roughly an hour of play.

The battle layer became clearer at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where a public demo showed a free, difficult system built around WEAR jobs. Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind join as playable characters. The game also brings back the Weapons as major battles, with Ruby, Emerald, and Ultima Weapon shown in an August trailer. File size is expected around 200GB, and the PS5 packaged version requires an internet connection and an additional download.

A provisional ESRB rating of Likely Mature 17+ appeared on the Microsoft Store, though it remains under review. Previous remake entries were rated Teen. The game will also have demos at Brasil Game Show 2026, which runs October 9 to 12 in São Paulo.

Square Enix gave press outlets early hands-on time with Final Fantasy VII Revelation ahead of its April 8, 2027 release.
