Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy is approaching its conclusion with Final Fantasy VII Revelation, officially scheduled for release on April 8, 2027. The title will launch on PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Gameplay details confirmed during a State of Play broadcast highlight an expansive open world accessible via the Highwind airship and the Chocobo companion, Piko. The Function-Integrated Tactical Suitwear (FITS) system allows players to customize combat abilities and visual appearances by adopting specialized roles such as Warrior, Knight, Black Mage, and Summoner. Director Naoki Hamaguchi noted the project aims to “modernize the franchise for new generations.” At PAX West, developers Naoki Hamaguchi and Teruki Endo provided further updates, confirming that the game will feature the characters Cid and Vincent, each with unique combat mechanics. Developers expressed a desire for players to “experience the story's conclusion personally rather than through external explanations.” A Story Expansion Pass will include two DLCs titled ‘Sephiroth’ and ‘Vincent & the Turks’, expected to launch between winter 2027 and spring 2028. Square Enix also indicated intentions to treat Final Fantasy VII as a long-term intellectual property, aiming to expand the universe through new projects over the next 20 to 30 years. While product offerings include a digital trilogy compilation and a Collector’s Edition, recent reports indicate that the high-priced Collector’s Edition and Deluxe Edition for PlayStation 5 have already sold out in the Square Enix Store. Physical editions continue to draw scrutiny; the Nintendo Switch 2 version will use a Game-Key Card format, while PlayStation 5 and Xbox versions will be single-disc releases requiring significant internet downloads for additional data. Recent technical details from Creative Studio 1 reveal advancements to the Materia system.
