During the Summer Games Fest 2026 livestream last night Square Enix has announced the third and final episode of the remake of Final Fantasy VII: Final Fantasy VII Revelation. During the presentation, Director Naoki Hamaguchi and Matt Mercer, the English voice of Vincent Valentine, debuted the official Reveal Trailer and gave an extended look at gameplay.
Cloud Strife and his loyal companions face a world that teeters on the brink of annihilation. Grieving a beloved ally, and with their nemesis Sephiroth nearing godhood, the party takes to the skies aboard the airship Highwind in a race against time to stop Meteor, the ultimate destructive magic, and the total obliteration of the planet.
The following messages have been released from Yoshinori Kitase (producer), Naoki Hamaguchi (director) and Tetsuya Nomura (creative director):
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. Thank you sincerely for joining us and being part of this journey over so many years.
— Tetsuya Nomura, Creative Director
Being the last announcement of the night, Final Fantasy VII Revelation was subjected at a more detailed presentation, highlighting the world and game system. Below is a summary from the press release:
- Venture to lands reimagined in stunning detail, like the sun-drenched Mideel archipelago, the warrior nation of Wutai and the frozen wastes of the Northern Continent.
- Take up arms as the deft gunslinger Vincent Valentine, whose lightning-fast gunplay and ferocious, bestial transformations can devastate the battlefield. Cantankerous pilot Cid Highwind can control the tempo by quickly closing the distance for powerful single-target lance strikes or sweeping area-of-effect damage.
- Achieve new heights of power with the FITS system by equipping unique outfits that bestow new movesets, evoking classic Final Fantasy jobs like Black Mage and Warrior.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation will be released on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and XBOX PC. You can watch the reveal trailer here and the extended gameplay trailer here.
