Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation as the third and final game in its Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, and said the game will arrive in spring 2027 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2.
The reveal came during Summer Game Fest Live 2026, which went live from the Dolby Theatre on Friday, June 5; the show’s host, Geoff Keighley, called this year’s program the "biggest Summer Game Fest yet." Footage shown onstage included the Highwind airship, with players able to jump off it to land in the game’s open world.
Onstage sequences also demonstrated that Vincent and Cid will be playable in battle in Revelation — a change from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, in which they were not playable — and that the game will include the gigantic Weapons and let players visit Wutai.
Square Enix said Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 will offer a "new gaming experience" and promised an ending designed to "satisfy old-timers and newcomers alike." The company also confirmed it will continue using Unreal Engine 4, saying development will go more smoothly with tools the team already knows.
The reveal included an equipment preview: special armors that change characters’ stats and appearance. Onstage personality Matt Mercer joked about that customization by calling it the "fit" system.
The announcement matters now because Square Enix positioned Revelation as a simultaneous multi-platform release. The company’s explicit platform list names PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2 as launching at the same time in spring 2027, a public promise that broadens access beyond the staggered timing that affected earlier entries in the remake trilogy.
That promise is the story’s immediate consequence for players: they now know which systems will be supported on day one and can plan hardware and preorders accordingly. The Summer Game Fest reveal supplied concrete gameplay beats — high-altitude travel, new playable characters, Weapons, Wutai — rather than another vague teaser.
The friction point remains clear. Square Enix is selling Revelation as a cross-platform debut, but earlier installments in the remake trilogy were associated with delayed access on some platforms; the company will need to meet that timetable to turn the claim into reality.
Practical details remain thin. Square Enix gave a spring 2027 window but did not publish an exact launch date; that gap matters because a release-day simultaneity promise is verifiable only when a specific date is set.
What happens next is simple and consequential: Square Enix must name the precise spring 2027 release date and begin the usual prelaunch cadence of marketing, technical details, and retailer listings. Until it does, the company’s claim of a single-day, multi-platform rollout will be a promise rather than a fact the public can confirm.
