Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 17

Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation at Summer Game Fest 2026 on June 6, confirming the title of the third and final chapter in the remake trilogy. The game is set for release in spring 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The announcement followed months of anticipation, with director Naoki Hamaguchi having said in February that the team planned to share more information this year.

The title Revelation was accurately predicted in a 2015 social media post by X user Caleb, who also came close on the second title, Rebirth, and loosely matched the first game's full name. The prediction resurfaced after the Summer Game Fest reveal, drawing attention to the naming logic behind the trilogy. Hamaguchi later explained the naming rationale in an interview.

Following the announcement, the concurrent player count for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Steam surged from around 3,000 to a peak of 8,300 on June 13, according to SteamDB. The spike is likely tied to the announcement and a concurrent Square Enix sale offering the highest-ever discounts on the remake trilogy. Separately, Capcom announced at Summer Game Fest 2026 that Tifa Lockhart from the Final Fantasy VII Remake series will join Street Fighter 6 as a guest fighter in early spring 2027, as part of the game's Year 4 character lineup.
