Square Enix frames Revelation as the Remake trilogy’s finale while using paid expansion content to help grow Final Fantasy VII into an ongoing franchise.

Overview

  • At a PAX West panel on Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026, Square Enix premiered a Remake series recap trailer and confirmed Final Fantasy VII Revelation will launch across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and Windows PC on April 8, 2027.
  • Developers detailed the new FITS outfit and role system, which gives characters traits and one of four specialties — Warrior, Knight, Black Mage or Summoner — that change combat roles and abilities.
  • Square Enix confirmed playable additions Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine, describing Cid as an aerial lance user who excels when airborne and Vincent as a mid‑range gunner with a close‑range transformation.
  • The company announced a paid Story Expansion Pass for post‑launch content and said the base game will include the trilogy’s conclusion while expansions will focus on character‑centered stories.
  • Developers asked fans to experience the ending firsthand rather than rely on outside explanations and signaled a broader plan to develop Final Fantasy VII beyond the Remake trilogy into an evolving IP.
