Cloud Strife’s journey is almost over. Square Enix has officially lifted the curtain on Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final chapter of the beloved Remake trilogy — and fans finally have answers about when it’s arriving, where they can play it, and who will be fighting alongside the iconic swordsman when the showdown with Sephiroth finally comes.
When Does Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Release?
The biggest question on every fan’s mind was the release window, and Square Enix didn’t leave us guessing for long. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is targeting a 2027 launch, giving the development team ample time to wrap up one of the most ambitious reimagining projects in gaming history.
The gap makes sense when you consider the trilogy’s pacing: Final Fantasy 7 Remake arrived in 2020, Rebirth followed in 2024, and Revelation will land roughly three years later. That extra development time should allow the team at Square Enix to deliver a finale worthy of the legacy — especially considering the scope of what the ending of this story demands.
Which Platforms Will FF7 Revelation Launch On?
Here’s where things get interesting for players outside the PlayStation ecosystem. Revelation is confirmed for a multi-platform launch:
- PlayStation 5 – continuing the trilogy’s home base
- PC – continuing Square Enix’s commitment to the platform
- Xbox Series X|S – a notable first for the Remake trilogy
The Xbox announcement was arguably the biggest surprise of the reveal. While Final Fantasy 7 Remake eventually found its way to PC, the trilogy has been largely PlayStation-centric. Bringing Revelation — and reportedly the earlier entries — to Microsoft’s consoles signals a major shift in Square Enix’s publishing strategy, and it means no one has to miss the trilogy’s conclusion.
Playable Characters: The Full Party Returns
Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and the Whole Crew
Revelation is set to feature the series’ most complete roster yet. Familiar faces like Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, and Cait Sith are all expected to return, and the late-game story opens the door for Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind to step into fully playable roles for the first time in the Remake era.
Vincent in particular has fans excited. The brooding gunslinger was a fan-favorite optional party member in the 1997 original, and seeing him integrated into the modern combat system — with Synergy attacks and weapon customization — should be worth the wait.
Story Details: The Road to the Finale
Rebirth ended with the party departing toward the Forgotten Capital, and Revelation picks up the trail from there. That means the trilogy is barreling toward the most infamous moment in Final Fantasy history — and the biggest question hanging over the entire project.
Since Remake introduced the Whispers and the concept of defying fate, speculation has run wild about whether the trilogy will change the original game’s most heartbreaking scene. Square Enix has kept its cards close to the chest, but the developers have openly acknowledged that they know fans are watching closely. Expect themes of destiny, sacrifice, and redemption to take center stage as Cloud confronts Sephiroth one final time.
Our Take: The Pressure Is On
Rebirth was widely praised as one of the best RPGs of its year, but Revelation carries even heavier expectations. This isn’t just another entry — it’s the game that will define how the Remake trilogy is remembered. If Square Enix sticks the landing, we could be looking at one of the greatest trilogies in gaming. If it stumbles, the ambitious reimagining experiment may leave fans divided for years.
Either way, 2027 can’t come soon enough.
