BODY: The wait finally has a date. Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third and final chapter of its acclaimed Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, will launch worldwide on April 8, 2027.
The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and — notably — Nintendo Switch 2, marking the trilogy's first appearance on a Nintendo platform. PC players will be able to grab it via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store on Windows, giving the finale one of the widest simultaneous launches in the series' history.
Revelation follows 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake and 2024's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, bringing Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, and the rest of the party toward the story's long-anticipated conclusion. Square Enix says the game will deliver an epic adventure on the largest scale yet seen in the series, promising a payoff for the reimagined narrative threads the studio has been weaving since the project began.
For longtime fans, the announcement is the culmination of nearly a decade of anticipation. The original Final Fantasy VII debuted in 1997, and the modern remake project has steadily rebuilt its world while reshaping the fates of its beloved cast — leaving the ending genuinely uncertain even for players who know the classic by heart.
The insider take
Here in Tokyo, the Switch 2 inclusion is the detail turning heads. Square Enix has historically kept its flagship Final Fantasy titles off Nintendo hardware at launch, so a day-one release on Switch 2 signals real confidence in the console's install base — and an eagerness to reach the domestic audience where portable play still dominates. With the April 2027 window landing squarely in Japan's fiscal-year-end release rush, expect Revelation to anchor Square Enix's biggest marketing push in years as it bids farewell to its most celebrated franchise's remake era.
