A ‘new look’ at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, hosted by its director, will take place at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will appear during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live presentation.

The next edition of producer Geoff Keighley‘s annual stage show, which is set to take place on Wednesday, August 25 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST, promises another array of new game trailers and announcements.

Now it’s been confirmed that one of the show’s segments will involve “a new look” at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

Square Enix also says that director Naoki Hamaguchi will be involved in this section, suggesting it will be more than just a trailer and may involve an on-stage interview, with the possibility of other announcements,

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, is set for release in the first half of 2027, but doesn’t yet have a firm release date.

It will also be the first game in the trilogy that won’t be a timed console exclusive, and will release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC on the same day.

In a recent interview, Hamaguchi told players that the base game will mark the definitive end of the trilogy’s story, and that anyone worried it will get some sort of epilogue DLC should rest assured it won’t.

An Epic Games Store listing found by dataminers last month suggested that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will indeed be getting extra story content, as an apparent list of DLC included a “Story Expansion Pass”.

According to Hamaguchi, however, were the game to ever get any extra DLC, it would be a spin-off story rather than an extra chapter added onto the end of the main story.

“The story will be concluded within the main game,” he explained to Automaton. “We’re serious about concluding the series with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, and we’re proceeding with development with that goal in mind.

“If we were to hypothetically release any DLC, we would likely want to create a kind of spin-off focused on a specific character that depicts their untold stories, kind of like what we did with Yuffie with Final Fantasy 7 Episode Intermission, and I think there is demand for it among fans. So, in case we do end up considering making a DLC, this is the kind of thing that we’d likely attempt to do.”
