Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third and final chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. The action RPG will launch simultaneously in spring 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. The timing gives the release extra weight, because it will arrive during the 30th anniversary year of the original Final Fantasy VII, bringing the modern remake project to its planned conclusion after Final Fantasy VII Remake in 2020 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024.
The story pushes Cloud Strife and his companions toward the final battle against Sephiroth as the world approaches annihilation. Meteor hangs in the sky, monstrous Weapons awaken as planetary guardians, and war continues to burn across the globe. Revelation is being framed around the highest stakes of the remake saga, with the party finally assembled and forced to confront a crisis that will decide the planet’s fate and close a legendary conflict.
The most visible shift is exploration. The Highwind becomes the center of the journey, allowing players to fly across a seamlessly connected open world where the entire planet serves as the stage. Players can take to the skies, choose a landing point, drop in by parachute, and move from air to land without an obvious break. Alongside areas introduced in previous entries, Revelation adds new regions such as Mideel, a humid tropical island, and Wutai, a town tied to the descendants of ninja and defined by vermilion wooden buildings and tiled roofs.
Combat keeps the series’ hybrid of real-time action and command-based strategy. Players will be able to switch between party members, issue commands in Tactical Mode, unleash abilities and synergies, and face enormous threats with a fuller team than before. Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind join as playable characters. Vincent uses fast gunplay and bestial transformations to devastate the battlefield, while Cid controls distance with his lance, closing in for single-target strikes or sweeping groups with wider attacks.
Revelation also introduces FITS, a system that changes each character’s combat style through different outfits. Each outfit unlocks unique abilities and can be combined with weapons and materia, evoking classic roles such as Warrior and Black Mage while expanding build options. Together, the new features point to a finale built around aerial travel, a more open planet, a complete party, and deeper tactical customization. The reveal arrived with an announcement trailer, a gameplay introduction, and first screenshots, but the exact release date has not been announced yet.
