Final Fantasy VII Revelation is officially coming to consoles and PC on April 8, 2027, as announced during the latest Sony State of Play livestream. This marks the conclusion of a trilogy of remakes that each cover a portion of the original PS1 classic, with the first installment launching in 2020 and the second in 2024. The sprawling release schedule spans seven years and two console generations—a far cry from the straightforward remake many fans originally envisioned.
What to Expect from Final Fantasy VII Revelation
Final Fantasy VII Revelation will wrap up the story with the final confrontation against Sephiroth and its consequences. Rather than simple remakes of the pixel-based PS1 original, these games represent complete retellings with modernized graphics and gameplay. The trilogy ditches turn-based combat in favor of a real-time action system that feels closer to contemporary titles. The first game, Final Fantasy VII Remake, stretched the opening Midgar section—essentially a preamble in the 1990s RPG—into roughly 50 hours of gameplay, and the approach has proven successful with players.
The trailer for Final Fantasy VII Revelation showcases stunning visuals, and the game will launch across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. Pre-orders are already live for PS5 owners, who will receive two summon spells as a bonus. A Premium Edition offers early access—play a day before the official launch—plus in-game accessories, consumable items, and access to forthcoming story DLC.
Platform Support and Future Content
The scope of this remake project continues to expand. Story DLC is confirmed for release after launch, ensuring this reimagining of a 30-year-old game will have a long tail. In a related development, Motorola Previews Android 15 Update and New Themed Icons showed how other major franchises are also evolving their offerings. Meanwhile, as covered earlier, Samsung Galaxy S26 FE vs S25 FE: Explaining the $50 Price Increase highlighted how companies are adjusting pricing strategies across product lines, a pattern worth watching as premium gaming editions become increasingly common.
Beyond Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the franchise isn’t slowing down. Final Fantasy Resonance, a throwback to old-school turn-based RPGs with modern visuals, launches on October 22—a stark contrast to the action-heavy approach of the Revelation trilogy.
