Square Enix’s Lost Final Fantasy VII Mobile Spin‑Off Restored as Revival Effort Continues

Square Enix is preparing the next chapter of its Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, slated for release next spring. Industry observers note that any post‑launch downloadable content should follow the model of God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla, offering optional combat‑focused challenges rather than essential story extensions.

Meanwhile, preservationist known as Yvi has succeeded in decrypting and restoring the 2006 mobile shooter Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode, a long‑missing spin‑off starring Vincent Valentine. Using a custom OpenCL decryption tool and a farm of more than 90 GPU servers, Yvi recovered the encrypted SD‑card data and made the game playable again, coinciding with Square Enix’s renewed focus on the broader Final Fantasy VII compilation.
