Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation for Spring 2027 on all platforms
Square Enix unveiled Final Fantasy 7 Revelation at Summer Game Fest 2026 today, confirming the final chapter of the FF7 Remake trilogy will arrive in Spring 2027. The game goes open-world.
Square Enix just dropped the announcement Final Fantasy fans have been waiting for since 2020.
At Summer Game Fest 2026 on June 5, Square Enix officially revealed Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final chapter of the FF7 Remake trilogy. The game is set to release in Spring 2027 and, in a significant change from the previous two installments, will launch simultaneously on all platforms.
The first trailer is live now. Watch it. Then come back.
What’s new
Revelation goes open-world. Players will use the iconic Highwind airship to travel across the planet, exploring locations that the more linear Remake (2020) and the partially-open Rebirth (2024) only hinted at.
The main story revolves around hunting down and destroying the WEAPONS — the massive monsters created by the planet to protect it from calamity in original FF7 canon. Series veterans know exactly what that means. New players are about to find out.
The battle system is getting more adjustments from the Rebirth iteration. Square Enix did not detail specifics in today’s reveal, but the development team has been steadily refining the action-RPG hybrid combat since the original Remake launched. Expect another evolution.
The bigger news is the platform shift
The headline detail buried in the announcement is the multi-platform simultaneous launch.
The original Final Fantasy 7 Remake was a PS4 exclusive at launch in April 2020, with PC and Xbox versions arriving years later. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was a PS5 exclusive in February 2024 and only just confirmed for Switch 2 and Xbox.
Revelation breaks the pattern entirely. The game arrives on every major platform at once. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and the Nintendo Switch 2 all get the trilogy’s conclusion the same day.
This matters. Square Enix has spent years navigating Sony exclusivity deals that frustrated a significant portion of the Final Fantasy fanbase. The decision to launch Revelation day-and-date across all platforms signals that the publisher is finally taking the post-exclusivity model seriously. The Final Fantasy 14 cross-platform expansion model and the recent confirmation of the entire FF7 Remake trilogy coming to Switch 2 and Xbox were the earlier signals. Revelation is the confirmation.
What this means for the FF7 Remake trilogy
The FF7 Remake trilogy will close with three games released across seven years.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake: April 2020 (PS4)
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: February 2024 (PS5)
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation: Spring 2027 (all platforms)
The trilogy has been one of the most ambitious remake projects in gaming history. The original 1997 Final Fantasy 7 was a ~40-hour PlayStation 1 RPG. The remake trilogy expands that source material into three full-length action RPGs that have collectively rewritten what a “video game remake” can mean.
The remake has also taken significant liberties with the original story. The 1997 ending is well-known to anyone who has played JRPGs. The remake trilogy has been hinting that the ending may not play out the same way. Whether Revelation delivers a faithful conclusion, a new conclusion, or something in between is the speculation that will dominate Final Fantasy discourse for the next year.
What’s next
Square Enix will reveal more details about Revelation over the next several months. Tokyo Game Show 2026 in late September is the obvious next major reveal window. The Game Awards 2026 in December will probably include a fresh trailer.
Until then: the trilogy is on track to finish. The Highwind is flying. The WEAPONS are coming. The platform exclusivity is over.
Spring 2027. All platforms.
