Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is set as the final chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, with a planned release in 2027 [1]. Director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed the story’s conclusion was established early in development and has not changed in response to fan feedback [2, 1]. He said, "We never really had any intention, nor did we adjust the ending based on fan feedback of the two previous titles. We had a very consistent idea" [2].
Hamaguchi explained that both he and producer Yoshinori Kitase had a clear vision from the beginning that guided the trilogy's conclusion. "So we did have a kind of direction from the early days of development. The same goes for the producer, Yoshinori Kitase. He had his visions as well, and some of that is applied in the conclusion that we’re telling in FF7 Revelation," he said [1].
Addressing player criticism about content bloat, especially from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Hamaguchi stated the team plans to reduce some minigames and extraneous activities to avoid overwhelming players in Revelation [2]. However, he added that there will still be as many or more minigames to maintain the game’s character [1]. He remarked, "We faced that same criticism for Rebirth, particularly with the minigames. With that, we did take some feedback from fans and we are implementing some changes with Revelation" [2].
Hamaguchi expressed caution about altering story or design elements too much based on fan feedback. "If you were to address all the negative feedback, and even take the positive feedback into account, sometimes it’s a case that you’re seeing two sides of the extreme opinions, and by applying all of that, it’s possible that you come up with a product that doesn’t really have any character. It’s just a blank state that doesn’t really have any strong appeal," he said [1].
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation was officially unveiled during Summer Game Fest in June 2026, with a trailer revealing new systems and story details [2]. The game will conclude the remake trilogy initially started years ago.
The release of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is scheduled for 2027, marking the end of one of the most anticipated game trilogies in recent history [1].
