Final Fantasy VII Revelation Gets an April 8, 2027 PS5 Release Date
Square Enix's trailers detail Highwind travel, parachute landings, new playable characters, and FITS customization, while physical and digital editions are confirmed, physical copies require additional downloads, and no separate PC launch date has been provided.
Square Enix has put a date on Final Fantasy VII Revelation, with the final chapter of its remake project scheduled to arrive on PS5 on April 8, 2027. Two trailers accompany the announcement, one focused on the release date and another covering the RPG’s combat and world.
The release-date materials identify April 8, 2027 as a PS5 launch. No separate PC date is provided in the announcement details, so the date should not be read as confirmation of a PC launch.
Physical and digital editions are confirmed
Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will launch in both physical and digital formats on April 8, 2027, as stated in an official post. Both earlier chapters of the remake trilogy launched on disc, giving collectors a matching physical entry for the final game.
The physical PS5 edition will use a single Blu-ray and require an internet connection to download additional game data before it can be played. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which shipped on two discs, Revelation will not provide the complete game installation on its disc.
Physical versions for Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 will also require downloads, meaning none of the announced boxed editions can be installed and played entirely offline. The Switch 2 release will use a game-key card, following the format used by the trilogy’s previous releases on that platform, and will take up around 130GB of storage.
Square Enix will offer Standard and Deluxe physical editions at launch. Specially marked day-one copies will include an exclusive Magic: The Gathering card, while the Deluxe Edition will add a physical soundtrack, a physical art book, and a steelbook case.
The Highwind will open up a wider world
Travel will take place across a large, connected world aboard the Highwind. A 10-minute State of Play presentation showed the party crossing the map from above, choosing where to land, and parachuting toward areas of interest across different biomes, cities, and remote frontiers.
Viewed from the air, the overworld is presented through miniature zone models. Choosing a destination triggers a cutscene before the character parachutes down, so the transition is not fully seamless, but players can choose a landing spot anywhere. Chocobos and a new grappling gun will also expand the ways players move through the environment.
Wutai adds a more tactile landing
Yuffie showed how the Highwind’s broad travel system can lead into more focused local traversal in Wutai. After landing, she grappled to a nearby roof and moved through the area, giving the wider world a more physical follow-up once players reach the ground.
New party members and FITS customization
Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine will join the roster as newly playable party members. Each character will bring distinct combat roles and abilities, giving players more options when building a team for the final chapter’s battles.
The combat system will continue the series’ mix of real-time action and command-based decisions. Players will be able to switch between party members, issue commands through Tactical Mode, and combine powerful abilities and synergies against threats including Sephiroth and the Weapons.
Party preparation will also cover weapons, armor, skills, materia, and FITS. The new system adds class-based abilities and special outfits, allowing players to adjust their builds around different playstyles and encounters.
April 8, 2027 now gives the remake project’s final chapter a clear release target, with physical and digital editions confirmed for the same day. Boxed copies will require additional downloads before they can be played, and the Deluxe Edition will provide several physical extras for collectors.
