Square Enix confirms Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date
FF7 Revelation is officially coming early next year
Square Enix has confirmed Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s release date during a PlayStation State of Play live stream.
A new trailer for the third instalment in the FF7 remake trilogy confirmed that the final entry will release on April 8, 2027.
As previously, announced, FF7 Revelation will release for PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC simultaneously.
“Today we are thrilled to show you the world premiere of our gameplay footage, highlighting the exciting features you can experience in Revelation,” said game director Naoki Hamaguchi.
Square Enix shared the following new gameplay details on the PlayStation Blog:
Set in a vast open world realized on an unprecedented scale, Final Fantasy VII Revelation gives players new opportunities to explore the planet via the iconic Highwind airship.
Exploration extends beyond the Highwind, as players can once again rely on their trusty chocobo companion Piko, who this time serves as both a mount and combat ally. Piko will grow stronger alongside the party, gaining new capabilities that assist during both traversal and battle.
Combat sees significant expansion through the introduction of the new Function-Integrated Tactical Suitwear, or the FITS System for short. FITS allows for customization of play styles with new uniforms imbued with unique move sets. There are four specialized FITS: Warrior, Knight, Black Mage, and Summoner. These FITS dramatically alter party members’ abilities and combat functions, creating new tactical possibilities. Check out the above extended gameplay deep dive video to get a glimpse of Cid wearing the Knight, and Vincent wearing the Summoner! The FITS change more than just combat abilities; the appearance of the character will also change – these outFITS make a striking fashion statement!
Final Fantasy VII Revelation will introduce a new dynamic character-switching feature that allows players to instantly swap between party members while exploring the world. Traversal has also been upgraded through the addition of a grappling gun that will allow players to quickly scale rooftops and navigate the city with style.
Players will also be able to choose which party member takes on certain quests. The choice impacts how specific story events and gameplay scenarios can unfold, creating unique narrative experiences shaped by each decision.
For card game lovers, fan-favorite minigame Queen’s Blood makes a return in Final Fantasy VII Revelation — this time with a major new storyline centered on Red XIII. Players will face powerful new opponents and unique gameplay challenges that expand upon the strategic card game’s mechanics. The new Queen’s Blood campaign introduces opponents capable of dramatically altering the flow of matches, creating fresh challenges for even experienced players.
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.
