Final Fantasy VII Revelation’s announcement in June was accompanied by an extended look at gameplay, following protagonist Cloud Strife and his allies in a last stand to save the planet from Sephiroth. The RPG will feature an expansive open world explorable via the Highwind airship, a hybrid combat system blending real-time action and tactical mode, and new playable characters and abilities.
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth were timed PlayStation exclusives, but Final Fantasy VII Revelation will launch simultaneously on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, marking the 30th anniversary of the original game.
