FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, the finale to one of the most ambitious projects in video game history, launches worldwide on April 8, 2027. Announced during PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast on September 3, 2026, the game will be available simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox on PC.
The Open World Aboard the Highwind and Expanded Gameplay Mechanics
During the September 3, 2026 State of Play, Square Enix delivered a deep dive into the open world of Final Fantasy VII Revelation. Players can traverse an expansive, unconstrained planet using the iconic Highwind airship. Alongside aerial navigation, parties can rely on Piko the Chocobo, who grows alongside the party to unlock new traversal and combat abilities. The game introduces a perfected version of the series’ acclaimed hybrid combat system featuring newly playable party members Cid and Vincent. Combat depth is further enhanced by the new FITS system, which grants specialized roles—Warrior, Knight, Black Mage, and Summoner—that elevate characters’ abilities and power scaling. In the extended gameplay footage, Cid and Vincent were highlighted wearing the Knight FITS and Summoner FITS respectively.
Flexibility defines the field mechanics. Players can freely swap their active, controlled character and adjust party compositions at any moment during exploration. A newly added grappling gun lets users quickly scale rooftops and zip across environments. Furthermore, narrative choices have tangible weight: selecting specific party members to undertake quests directly impacts how events and scenarios unfold across the campaign.
