The presentation included a trailer focused on each character's resolve, set in a world the sources describe as unseen and never before shown. Alongside the release date, Square Enix released a separate gameplay video titled Gameplay Battle \u0026 Exploration, which introduces an airship that lets players traverse a vast open world and parachute down to points of interest. The third installment in the Final Fantasy VII remake series is scheduled for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The same broadcast also revealed a trilogy pack containing Revelation, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with preorders opening on September 3. The series began with Remake in 2020, followed by Rebirth in 2024, and Revelation concludes the three-part retelling of the 1997 original.","whyItMatters":"The April 2027 date lands over three years after Rebirth's February 2024 launch, making this the longest gap between entries in the remake trilogy and positioning Revelation as a cross-generation release that spans PS5, current Xbox hardware, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC simultaneously.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe State of Play segment confirmed what the trilogy pack implies: Revelation is the closing chapter of a project that began with Final Fantasy VII Remake in 2020. The sources differ on one detail: Game Spark\u0026#39;s earlier article lists only PS5, while its follow-up adds Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, indicating the broader platform set was confirmed later in the broadcast or in supplementary materials.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gameplay trailer emphasizes traversal over combat, showing an airship that functions as a hub for exploring an open world with parachute descents to points of interest. The story trailer, by contrast, focuses on the party\u0026#39;s motivations, with characters described as carrying their own resolve into a final battle in an unseen world. The sources do not name which characters appear in the trailer or detail the world itself.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trilogy pack announcement bundles all three entries and opened preorders on September 3, the same day as the broadcast. No price or contents beyond the three games were given. The State of Play stream began at 22:00 JST on September 3, 2026.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Final Fantasy VII Revelation lands on multiple platforms at once, a first for the remake series. The airship and parachute traversal signal a shift toward open-world design that Remake and Rebirth only gestured at.","twitterPost":"Final Fantasy VII Revelation ships simultaneously on PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC. The multiplatform launch breaks the series' console-first pattern.","threadsPost":"Final Fantasy VII Revelation arrives April 8, 2027, on every major platform at once.
