Hold onto your Buster Swords, Avalanche - Square Enix has officially named the third and final chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. According to Kotaku, the game is titled Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Revelation, and it's targeting a spring release window. Yes, spring. As in, potentially less than a year away. Someone call a Phoenix Down because we just fainted.
After Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 2020 and Rebirth in 2024, the trilogy is finally heading into its endgame arc. The title 'Revelation' is doing some heavy lifting thematically - fitting for a game that has to wrap up one of the most emotionally loaded stories in JRPG history. No pressure, Nomura. Totally no pressure.
What we know so far
Details beyond the title and release window are still locked behind what we can only assume is a Shinra-level security clearance. Square Enix has kept story specifics tighter than Cloud's emotional availability, which is saying something. Fans are already theorizing at warp speed about what 'Revelation' means for the timeline, the multiverse shenanigans introduced in Rebirth, and whether a certain flower girl's fate is still on the table.
The spring window lines up with Square Enix's apparent commitment to keeping the trilogy rolling without a massive gap between entries - Remake and Rebirth were four years apart, so a roughly one-year turnaround for Revelation would be a significant speed boost. Either the dev team has been grinding overtime, or they had a serious head start. Probably both.
The final boss of JRPG trilogies
This is it - the final chapter of a remake project that began nearly a decade ago in development and has already rewritten the rules on how to modernize a classic. Rebirth was critically acclaimed and expanded the world in ways that left players with more questions than answers, which means Revelation has an absolutely massive amount of narrative heavy-lifting to do.
Spring can't come soon enough. Whether you're a first-timer who never touched the original 1997 game or a veteran who cried the first time and plans to cry again - same, honestly - Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Revelation is shaping up to be one of the biggest RPG events in recent memory. Save your gil, clear your schedule, and maybe keep some tissues in your item slot.
