Reveal trailer
In Revelation, Cloud Strife and his loyal companions are facing a world on the brink of annihilation. It’s dire times. The team is grieving a beloved ally, and their nemesis Sephiroth has assumed a role that’s nearly god-like. The party takes to the skies aboard the airship Highwind, racing against time to stop the ultimate destructive magic. Revelation is set to deliver a breathtaking finale to one of the most ambitious projects in video game history. In some ways, it serves as the culmination of 30 years of Final Fantasy VII storytelling. Talk about a long legacy.
The Revelation world has no boundaries, with a freely explorable planet. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, easily transitioning from air to land. There are many conflicts to cover, so the party will need to divide and conquer. You can choose where to go, who to help and the order of events. Combat can also be customized by switching between real-time action and a hybrid battle system, which has been expanded and perfected with new playable characters and powerful new abilities.
Square Enix also revealed a more detailed gameplay trailer, which you can check out below.

“FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right. The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title; and yet, as the developer, our hands alone cannot turn its final page. It’s only when you, the player, step inside and memorialize this journey that a new “legend” is finally born. We hope you witness the coming together of our hearts, and yours.” – Yoshinori Kitase, Producer
“I’m beyond excited to announce FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, launching simultaneously across all platforms in Spring 2027. I’m truly grateful to our fans who believed in this story and supported us for so many years. In this title, centered around “resolve,” Cloud and his companions will confront their respective convictions and continue their journey towards the final battle that will determine the planet’s fate. All the stories and emotions accumulated over the years will culminate in the most satisfying way with this experience, brought to you as the series’ final chapter. Please look forward to it.” – Naoki Hamaguchi, Director
“As creators, we have carefully built and nurtured the FINAL FANTASY VII series over many years, expanding it through numerous spin-off titles along the way. Over time, we believe each fan has developed their own unique interpretation of the story, and our goal has been to bring all of these FINAL FANTASY VII stories together so that they ultimately converge in the final chapter of the Remake Series. While there may be a mix of excitement and uncertainty, we are confident that this journey will remain an unforgettable experience for years to come.
