The final instalment in the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is launching on April 8, 2027.
After its big reveal during the Summer Game Fest Live 2026 showcase back in June, we got to see more of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation during the Gamescom 2026 schedule. Even better, the latest Sony State of Play gave us a juicy release date trailer, confirming that next April is the month we'll be getting to play Cloud's final chapter on PS5.
With director Naoki Hamaguchi taking to the stage to give us a look at the upcoming RPG in action (you can watch the new trailer below), Square Enix also previously dropped more details about the final part in the series, which will pick up right where we left off in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
With a high-stakes quest, more time to spend with the cast of loveable companions, and so much more, there's already plenty of reasons to get excited about what's in store for our upcoming reunion with Cloud and the gang. And with 2027 set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy 7, it feels only right that we can look forward to the new game landing next year. So, for a full recap the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date and gameplay details, read on!
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's release date has been set for April 8, 2027.
Joining an increasing number of RPGs set to come our way in 2027 (with the likes of Fable and Exodus), Revelation's launch sets it a safe distance away from GTA 6's November launch this year.
Interestingly, its April 2027 launch will place it after the January anniversary date that marks 30 years since the release of the original Final Fantasy 7 – but still, 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 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".
Interestingly, it's also been said that we can expect to see characters from spin-offs such as Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core appear in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, too. This comes from director Hamaguchi, who explained at a Q&A event that, "This Final Fantasy 7 Remake series is not simply a recreation of the original work, but rather, our goal is to create a single, new Final Fantasy 7 that incorporates the settings and concepts of all the previous spin-off titles".
A database listing also suggests we may see DLC in the form of a story expansion pass down the line.

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.
