The long awaited third and final chapter of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake series was officially revealed at the very end of Summer Game Fest 2026. Alongside the reveal trailer, it was confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will have one major different compared to Remake and Rebirth before it. That’s because Final Fantasy VII Revelation will release simultaneously across all platforms including Xbox, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
In the Reveal Trailer, the party sets off across a world without boundaries. The entire planet is freely explorable via the iconic Highwind airship. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, seamlessly transitioning from air to land. With Meteor descending and enormous Weapons unleashing terror, the planet’s conflicts are many, and the party will need to divide and conquer. Choose where to go, who to help and in what order as the planet itself fights for survival. Make one last stand alongside a beloved cast of legendary heroes, making decisions along the journey that can impact aspects of their stories. Customize combat by switching between real-time action and Tactical Mode in the series’ acclaimed hybrid battle system, now expanded and perfected with new playable characters and powerful new abilities.
After the initial reveal trailer, Matt Mercer came to the stage before we got treated to a second trailer that gave us a look at gameplay.
The extended gameplay reveal gave us an in-depth look at new locations and playable characters, plus the debut of the FITS system. Venture to lands reimagined in stunning detail, like the sun-drenched Mideel archipelago, the warrior nation of Wutai and the frozen wastes of the Northern Continent. Take up arms as the deft gunslinger Vincent Valentine, whose lightning-fast gunplay and ferocious, bestial transformations can devastate the battlefield. Cantankerous pilot Cid Highwind can control the tempo by quickly closing the distance for powerful single-target lance strikes or sweeping area-of-effect damage. Achieve new heights of power with the FITS system by equipping unique outfits that bestow new movesets, evoking classic Final Fantasy jobs like Black Mage and Warrior.
This reveal was an amazing way to end the core Summer Game Fest 2026 show. Personally, I can’t wait to get hands-on with Final Fantasy VII Revelation when it releases in Spring 2027.
