During the 2026 Summer Game Fest livestream, Square Enix officially revealed Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the highly anticipated finale of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. Scheduled for release in Spring 2027, the game coincides with the 30th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy VII, bringing a glorious conclusion to the modern reimagining of the iconic JRPG beloved by three generations of gamers.

1. Main Storyline: Embrace Resolve to Stop the Apocalypse

Picking up immediately after the events of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the game centers on the core theme of “resolve”. The planet stands on the brink of total annihilation, as the arch-nemesis Sephiroth ascends toward godhood and the cataclysmic Meteor hurtles toward the world. Grieving the loss of a dear ally, Cloud and his companions board the legendary airship Highwind and embark on a desperate race against time to save everything they hold dear.

The game retains branching dialogues and story choices, where players’ decisions shape character side stories, while the main narrative converges into a single epic ending. Players will traverse iconic locations including the Outskirts of Midgard, the warrior nation of Wutai, the sunlit Mideel Archipelago and the frozen Northern Continent. Formidable classic foes such as the Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon and Ultimate Weapon return to deliver brutal challenges. The development team noted that Revelation will weave together story threads from numerous Final Fantasy VII spin-offs, delivering a comprehensive and satisfying closure to the entire remake trilogy.

2. Expanded Roster: All Classic Allies Return Plus Two New Playable Characters

Every fan-favorite character from the first two remakes returns, joined by two long-awaited playable heroes, forming the largest party lineup in the trilogy.

Vincent Valentine: The enigmatic gunslinger officially joins the main party. He boasts lightning-fast marksmanship and ferocious beast transformations that dominate the battlefield. His English voice is performed by renowned voice actor Matthew Mercer, whose performance has drawn high expectations from fans worldwide.

Cid Highwind: The gruff and intrepid pilot makes his full playable debut. Wielding a spear, he excels at closing in on enemies for devastating single-target strikes and sweeping area-of-effect attacks to control combat momentum.

Characters are no longer locked into fixed classes; players can freely switch between traditional roles such as Black Mage and Warrior, greatly expanding build diversity and gameplay creativity.

Evolved Hybrid Battle System The series’ acclaimed hybrid combat system, combining real-time action and tactical command modes, is fully polished and enhanced.
