Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy To Conclude With Revelation, Director Says Ending Was Planned From the Start

Square Enix is targeting a spring 2027 cross‑platform release and the team says its creative choices and post‑launch approach reflect a deliberate, nonreactive vision.

Overview

  • Square Enix unveiled Final Fantasy VII: Revelation at Summer Game Fest in June 2026 and the company has given it a spring 2027 release window for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.
  • Director Naoki Hamaguchi told multiple outlets in mid‑June that the remake trilogy’s ending was mapped out from the project’s early days and that the team is confident in how Revelation will conclude the story.
  • Hamaguchi defended key design choices carried into Revelation, saying the game will keep, or even increase, the number of minigames and that the team resists reshaping core design around broad aggregate fan feedback.
  • The director signaled he plans to move on to another JRPG after Revelation rather than immediately helm another classic remake and suggested a potential Final Fantasy VI remake might be better led by a different creator at Square Enix.
  • Beyond the finale, Hamaguchi has teased expanded endgame content and optional superboss encounters, while Square Enix says post‑launch DLC will be cautious and tied to player demand and sales performance.
