Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 5. The game is the third and final installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake series, scheduled for a simultaneous multiplatform release in spring 2027. The reveal trailer showed a seamless open world with the airship Highwind allowing players to fly across the map and parachute down to destinations. New playable characters include Vincent Valentine, voiced by Shogo Suzuki, and Cid Highwind, voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji. A new WEAR system lets characters change outfits to alter combat styles, with names like Warrior and Black Mage drawn from the Final Fantasy series. The game introduces new areas Mideel and Wutai, and the giant planet guardian Weapon will appear as an enemy.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi said in an interview with 4Gamer that the subtitle Revelation was chosen last-minute by creative director Tetsuya Nomura. Hamaguchi stated the game is structured to resolve all foreshadowing and mysteries from the previous entries. He also confirmed the decision to use Unreal Engine 4 for the project. The theme of the title is resolve, as Cloud and his companions prepare for their final battle.

The Tifa Lockhart collaboration with Street Fighter 6 was announced at the same Summer Game Fest event. Capcom confirmed that Tifa will join Street Fighter 6 as a Year 4 guest character in spring 2027, the same window as Revelation's release. The collaboration had been discussed for about three years, initiated through a mutual acquaintance at Square Enix and accelerated after Nakayama co-starred with Hamaguchi at Tokyo Game Show 2023. The Square Enix team, including Nomura, reviewed design adjustments to ensure Tifa's martial arts moves read clearly in a versus fighting game.
