At the September State of Play, the release date for Final Fantasy VII Revelation was announced. The game will be released on April 8, 2027 (on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2), as announced in a new trailer. It also showcases new story and gameplay footage, but the developers revealed even more details in a separate video.
The demo included a look at new movement and combat abilities, free switching between active characters, the loyal chocobo Pico (which levels up along with the heroes), and a prototype class system.
According to the story, as Sephiroth approaches godhood, Cloud Strife and his companions attempt to stop Meteor, the ultimate destructive spell. Thanks to the airship Highwind, players will be able to explore the entire planet. The game promises an “unforgettable finale,” a gallery of legendary heroes, a refined hybrid combat system, and two story expansions—Sephiroth and Vincent and the Turks (due to be released before spring 2028).
Pre-orders for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation are now open. Three editions are available: standard, premium, and Premium Plus. Pre-orders come with bonuses including the Mecha-Chocobo and Moogle Summon Materia. The Premium Edition’s key features include 24-hour early access to the game and a season pass for two expansions.
