Square Enix has reaffirmed the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release window in a new Gamescom trailer. According to the legendary studio, FF7 Revelation is still on track to launch in early in 2027.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Releases in Spring 2027
Square Enix has confirmed that the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date is still on track for Spring 2027. While this release window was previously announced in June, game director Naoki Hamaguchi reaffirmed it during the Gamescom Opening Night Live stream.
“Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will deliver an unforgettable experience in a world without boundaries. And it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027.” Hamaguchi then introduced a new FF7 Revelation trailer at Gamescom, which focused on the game’s Weapon boss battles. The trailer also ended by reaffirming its Spring 2027 launch window.
Unfortunately, we still do not have a specific release date, as Square Enix is continuing to say “Spring 2027.” However, this is our first major update in three months since Final Fantasy 7 Revelation was revealed at Summer Game Fest. The fact that Square Enix has reaffirmed the launch window suggests the company is confident the game will arrive in the first half of next year.
When Is the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Release Date?
The Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date is currently set for Spring 2027. However, as mentioned above, Square Enix has not announced a specific launch date yet. Spring 2027 begins on March 20 and ends on June 21.
Assuming Square Enix is using the same calendar for the release window, we can expect FF7 Revelation to launch sometime between those two dates. I know, that is a pretty big window. Regardless, we will not have to wait much longer, as the final game in the FF7 Remake trilogy is launching during the first half of next year.
