Final Fantasy fans, rejoice — and then check your bank balance. Square Enix has officially confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third and final chapter of the beloved Remake trilogy, will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 in April 2027. But the bigger headline for collectors is what the publisher announced alongside it: a Complete Edition bundling the entire Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy — and it doesn’t come cheap.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation Heads to Switch 2
The conclusion of Cloud Strife’s reimagined journey is shaping up to be one of the biggest RPG launches of 2027. Square Enix confirmed the April 2027 release window for Final Fantasy VII Revelation on Switch 2 this week, giving Nintendo’s hybrid console a genuine heavyweight exclusive-era title to look forward to. Alongside the release date, the publisher detailed multiple versions of the game that will be available at launch, ranging from the standard edition to premium offerings for the most dedicated fans of Midgar and beyond.
The Complete Edition: A Collector’s Dream at a Collector’s Price
Limited Stock, Premium Pricing
The star of the announcement is undoubtedly the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy Complete Edition, currently confirmed for Japan only. Available in “limited” supply exclusively through the Square Enix webstore, this bundle packages the full trilogy — Remake, Rebirth, and Revelation — into one definitive package. The catch? It costs a small fortune. While Square Enix has never been shy about premium collector’s editions, this release pushes even dedicated fans to seriously consider their budgets.
Why Japan-Only Exclusives Frustrate Global Fans
As with many Square Enix special editions, international players are once again left watching from the sidelines. No Western release for the Complete Edition has been announced, meaning import costs, shipping fees, and regional compatibility questions will add even more expense for overseas fans determined to get their hands on it. Given the passionate global fanbase for Final Fantasy VII, many are hoping Square Enix reverses course — but history suggests supply will vanish long before that happens.
One Caveat for Physical Collectors: It’s a Game-Key Card
Here’s where things get controversial for purists. The retail version of Final Fantasy VII Revelation on Switch 2 will ship as a Game-Key Card rather than a traditional cartridge containing the full game data. For the uninitiated, Game-Key Cards function as physical keys that require you to download the game before playing — meaning the card itself doesn’t hold the complete title. For a trilogy collection marketed at collectors, this detail stings a little, as the “physical” aspect is more symbolic than practical.
Our Take: The Future of Premium Game Collecting
This announcement says a lot about where the industry is heading. Publishers increasingly know that Final Fantasy VII nostalgia is a license to print money, and limited webstore-exclusive bundles create urgency (and scalper opportunity) from day one. Combine that with the Game-Key Card format, and the line between physical and digital ownership continues to blur. Our advice? If you want the Complete Edition, set a reminder for the Square Enix webstore opening — limited means limited.
