Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is the title of the third and final part of the Remake series.
The long-awaited RPG will pick up where Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth left off and reunite us with Cloud Strife and his companions as they see out their journey in a high-stakes quest to save the world from destruction (it’s never easy for the spiky haired protagonist, is it?). Officially revealed as the exciting finale at the end of Summer Game Fest Live 2026, we got to see a trailer drop before director Naoki Hamaguchi took to the stage to unveil the name of part three’s Revelation title, and show off some gameplay in action – alongside Vincent Valentine’s English voice actor, Matt Mercer.
Aptly, the upcoming RPG is set to arrive next year when the original Final Fantasy 7 classic celebrates its 30th anniversary. Not only was it one of the best PS1 games, its impact can still be felt all these years later as one of the best JRPGs of all-time. And now, we’ll get to see how Cloud and co. take on the final showdown in all its modern, reimagined glory. So, to help you get ready for what’s in store in the new game, I’ve gathered together everything you need to know about Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, from its launch date and platforms to gameplay details and interviews from the development team.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date speculation
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s release date window is currently set for Spring 2027.
Joining an increasing number of RPGs set to come our way in 2027 (with the likes of Fable and Exodus), Revelation is set to land sometime in the Spring next year. While we’re still waiting for a firm release date, Spring generally covers the months of March through to May, so we expect to see it arrive around then.
Interestingly, this will place it after the January date that will mark 30 years since the release of the original Final Fantasy 7 – it’s certainly going to be a big year for FF fans.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation platforms
The Final Fantasy 7 Revelation platforms have already been revealed, with the RPG set to launch simultaneously across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2 in 2027.
Confirmed as part of Revelation’s initial reveal, Hamaguchi confirmed the big news that the third part in the saga will be releasing across all platforms. This is a move away from both Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, both of which initially launched as timed PS5 exclusives console wise before eventually coming to Xbox Series X and Switch 2.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation trailer
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation story
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will continue the story of Cloud and his companions after the events of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This time around, we’ll reunite with the cast as they set off in a race against time to stop longtime antagonist Sephiroth (who’s now said to be nearing godhood), and a meteor that threatens to destroy the world. As Cloud says in the official reveal trailer, “long story short, the world’s in trouble, and has been for a while”, with companion Barret declaring the party will give Sephiroth “the beating of a lifetime”.
During Summer Game Fest Live 2026, Hamaguchi said that part three in the saga, “resolve” will be the “central theme”, with Cloud and his companions each confronting their own destinies, during which they will have to “find the resolve to march towards the final battle”. It looks like you can get ready for an “epic conclusion”, with a big showdown in store. While it’s also been confirmed that Revelation’s story will change based on your choices, you can expect to reach a “singular ending”.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation gameplay
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is a single-player, story-driven RPG that takes place in a vast open world “without boundaries”. That latter description comes directly from the official press release, which highlights that the entire planet will be explorable this time around, as we venture on land and also up in the sky.
That’s right, just like the original adventure, we’ll get to navigate the skies in a modernized version of the classic Highwind Airship. This promises to open up the world all the more in what will be a “far bigger” map than that of Rebirth, with the party now having the ability to parachute anywhere and “seamlessly” transition from air to land. During the reveal trailer, we see how this will let us choose where we want to go, and in what order we want to help others in our quest to save the day.
With the party fully assembled, we also got to see some combat in action, with new playable characters in Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind. The pair will be joining Tifa, Barret, Yuffie, Red XIII, and Cait Sith to fight alongside Cloud.
The hybrid battle system is returning, which brings together a mixture of real-time action with a tactical mode you can switch to which gives you a suite of new spells and abilities in the signature commands menu.
Synergy attacks first introduced in Rebirth can once again be activated, too, which lets you perform powerful attacks in sync with your companions. Additionally, the classic lineup of Summons, who can really pack a punch and turn the tide in a battle when called upon, will also be returning.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, Hamaguchi shed more light on how the team has built on the combat system and “perfected” it over Rebirth’s, with a new FITS system. Standing for Function Integrated Tactical Suitwear, FITS is a modernized take on the classic Final Fantasy Jobs system in the form of equippable outfits and gear.
As you may already know, the Job system essentially works like character classes, giving your party different stats and abilities. In past entries, the party members have their own fixed classes. But now, thanks to the FITS system, you’ll be able to change them up this time through the outfits you equip them with.
