Summer Gaming Festival 2026 ended in style on Friday with the reveal of the final game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. Not only did we finally get to see the trailer for the latest installment, but we were also treated to gameplay footage. And we won’t have to wait long: it should be released next spring.
The game resumes right after the previous game, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthincludes all the fan-favorite characters and summarizes the details of this retelling of Final Fantasy 7’s story.
The trailer previews the final chapter, in which Sephiroth wields incredible power, and it’s up to Cloud and his allies to stop him. The video introduces the latest character to join the team, Vincent Valentine, who appeared very late in the previous game, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. We also see the weapons – Ruby, Emerald and Ultimate – which will be available in combat for those who want a challenge. Revelation also brings back the ability to swap characters on the fly during battles.
The Summer Game Fest stream included a new addition to the game, Function Integrated Tactical Suitwear, or FITS. This system will unlock new moves and combat upgrades while allowing players to customize the appearance of their characters.
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake series began in 2020 as a retelling of the original 1997 game. All three games expand on the story of the original while modernizing the graphics and combat, resulting in a series that offers much more game to play.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will launch in 2027 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series consoles and Nintendo Switch 2.
