An update on Final Fantasy 7 Revelation has provided more details about the game’s release, gameplay, and special editions. Originally announced in June during Summer Game Fest with a target release date in spring 2027, the game is now set to launch on April 8. Players can look forward to two story-driven downloadable content (DLC) expansions. The first will focus on the game’s main antagonist, Sephiroth, while the second will explore the backstory of party member Vincent and his past with the Turks, a secret organization in the Final Fantasy universe. The game’s open-world design has been enhanced, allowing players to travel via airship and use parasailing to reach different locations. Chocobo, the iconic bird mount from the series, returns with new mechanics—players can now fight enemies while riding them, rather than dismounting. A new system called FITS, inspired by the job system found in earlier Final Fantasy titles, lets players assign different roles to their characters. Four classes—Warrior, Knight, Black Mage, and Summoner—are available, and all party members can switch between them. Exploration has also been expanded, allowing players to control any character while navigating the world. A grappling hook feature lets players scale rooftops and access previously unreachable areas. Pre-orders for the game are available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC, with digital pre-orders for the Switch 2 version launching later. Those who pre-order will receive exclusive in-game items, including a Mecha Chocobo and a Moogle summon. A digital-only premium edition offers early access for 24 hours and additional in-game gear. For those seeking a more elaborate experience, the Collector’s Edition, priced at £349.99, includes the base game, promotional cards, a soundtrack, an artbook, a steelbook case, statues, summoning materia, accessories, and both story DLCs. In addition, Square Enix announced a new trailer for Final Fantasy Resonance, confirming that Sephiroth will be a major boss. A demo featuring the game’s first chapter is available on PlayStation 5, with the full release scheduled for October 22 across multiple platforms.
