Final Fantasy VII Remake

The third game, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, is dated April 8, 2027, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It concludes the remake trilogy that began with Remake in 2020 and Rebirth in 2024. A trilogy pack with all three games is also announced, with preorders open.

Synthesized from 12 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 16

The Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy now has an end point. Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation at Summer Game Fest 2026 on June 6, then confirmed during Sony's State of Play on September 3 that the game arrives April 8, 2027, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The date was previously given only as spring 2027. A trailer focused on each character's resolve and a separate gameplay video titled Gameplay Battle & Exploration accompanied the announcement. The gameplay video introduces an airship for traversing a vast open world and parachuting to points of interest. Pricing starts at 9,900 yen.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi has described the project as an attempt to pass Final Fantasy VII to the next generation rather than a simple remake. Speaking at a PAX West 2026 panel, he said the goal is a work that keeps producing new fans 20 to 30 years from now. The same panel covered the graphics direction and the new mysteries added to the story. A 2015 post by X user Caleb that predicted the title Revelation before the first remake was released resurfaced after the Summer Game Fest announcement.

The third game's announcement drove a Steam player surge. The concurrent player count for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Steam rose from around 3,000 to a peak of 8,300 on June 13, according to SteamDB, alongside a Square Enix sale offering the highest-ever discounts on the remake trilogy. Merchandise has followed: preorders opened for Pocket Peoplets mascot plush toys, an 11-character line including Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, and Sephiroth from FF7R and seven Final Fantasy X characters, each priced at 2,090 yen and set for release on November 14, 2026. Tifa Lockhart joins Street Fighter 6 as a guest fighter in early spring 2027.
