Overview
- Square Enix confirmed on Monday that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will get a new look at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, with game director Naoki Hamaguchi presenting footage and commentary.
- The company has left its full-year financial forecast unchanged after Q2 results, a move analysts read as reducing the odds of a release before March 31, 2027 while leaving a very late-March launch possible under J-GAAP rules.
- Final Fantasy VII Revelation is officially scheduled for Spring 2027 and will launch simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, ending the remake trilogy begun in 2020.
- Square Enix says Revelation will feature a larger open world, a hybrid real-time and tactical combat system, new playable characters and abilities, and that the trilogy’s conclusion will be included in the base game.
- Gamescom on August 25 and the upcoming Tokyo Game Show are the next opportunities for Square Enix to give a firm release date and pre-order details, which would let the company update guidance and let players plan purchases.
