Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Closes the Trilogy in Spring 2027, Skips PS5 Exclusivity

Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final chapter of the remake trilogy that started back in 2020. It's launching in Spring 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC — all at once. No timed exclusivity window. No "coming later to other platforms." Director Naoki Hamaguchi said it himself.

For anyone who bought a PS5 specifically to play Rebirth — or who is still waiting for the PC port that finally arrived this year — that last detail is the actual headline. The original Remake was a PS4 exclusive for six months, then a PS5 timed-exclusive, then eventually PC . Rebirth followed the same script. Revelation is breaking the pattern entirely, and Square Enix appears to have decided that selling the conclusion to as many people as possible on day one matters more than whatever check Sony was writing.

Hamaguchi got ahead of the obvious concern in his statement. "Supporting multiple platforms does not impact overall quality," he said, which is exactly what you have to say when you're shipping a Switch 2 version of a game alongside a PS5 version. Whether that holds up is a 2027 problem. The Switch 2 is more capable than its predecessor, but Rebirth on PS5 was already pushing hardware in ways that make you wonder what gets cut, scaled, or streamed to make a portable version work. VGC reports the simultaneous launch is a deliberate design pillar rather than a late addition, which at least suggests the team has been building with these constraints in mind from the start.

On the gameplay side, early details point to skydiving as a new traversal mechanic and an expanded customization system the team is calling FITS, which appears to govern character loadouts and appearance. Square Enix has been incrementally piling systems onto this trilogy — materia, weapon upgrades, Folios, synergy abilities — and FITS sounds like another layer on top of all of that. Whether it actually adds depth or just adds menus is the eternal question with this series.

Story-wise, the most interesting confirmation is the return of Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind as playable party members. Vincent was teased at the end of Rebirth but never actually joined the active roster, which felt like a deliberate cliffhanger. Both characters have major arcs in the original 1997 game tied to the back third of the story — Vincent's confrontation with Hojo, Cid's rocket sequence — so their full integration here suggests Revelation is covering the material from the Northern Crater through the ending, with the trilogy's usual willingness to rewrite whatever it feels like rewriting.

Pre-order pricing hasn't been confirmed across all regions yet, but a Digital Deluxe Edition is planned, which in 2025 means the usual bundle of cosmetic materia, a soundtrack selection, and probably a summon nobody asked for. Expect the standard $70 base price and a $90-ish deluxe tier, because that's where the industry has landed.

The trilogy started in April 2020. It'll end roughly seven years later. Somewhere in there, a generation of fans has had time to graduate college, change jobs, and forget what the Whispers were supposed to be.
