Final Fantasy fans won't have to wait much longer for another look at one of the franchise's most anticipated upcoming games. Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will be featured during Gamescom Opening Night Live later this month.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is set to serve as the conclusion to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, with the game currently scheduled to launch on current-generation platforms in spring 2027. Following Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the upcoming title will expand the playable world considerably and give players the opportunity to explore the planet using the iconic Highwind airship.
Several familiar locations that have yet to appear in the Remake trilogy, including Wutai and Mideel, are expected to be accessible in Revelation. Square Enix has also said that feedback from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players has influenced development, particularly when it comes to the game's open-world design. The goal is reportedly to provide players with clearer guidance and reduce some of the open-world fatigue that affected parts of Rebirth.
Now, fans will get another chance to see what Square Enix has been working on. Gamescom Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will receive its own segment during the event. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi will appear on stage at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, to showcase the upcoming RPG.
Fans don't need to attend Gamescom to watch the presentation, either. Gamescom Opening Night Live will be livestreamed on August 25 at 2:00 PM Eastern, giving players around the world the opportunity to see the new footage as it is revealed.
Hamaguchi has already teased some of the major changes coming to Revelation. The looming threat of Meteor will have a noticeable impact on the game's world, with parts of the terrain changing as the disaster approaches. Several powerful Weapons will also return, including Ruby Weapon and Ultima Weapon, giving players some formidable enemies to overcome.
Combat is also receiving a major addition through the new Function Integrated Tactical Suitwear, or FITS, system. Inspired heavily by the traditional Job system from the Final Fantasy franchise, FITS will allow characters to take on different combat roles. Characters such as Tifa could potentially take on the role of a Black Mage, while Cait Sith could specialize as a Summoner.
Each character will reportedly have up to four FITS options, although Square Enix has not yet revealed exactly which roles will be available to each member of the party.
That leaves plenty of room for speculation about what Hamaguchi will reveal during Gamescom. Square Enix could provide another look at the game's expanded world, introduce additional characters or mechanics, or show how some of the new systems work in practice.
With Final Fantasy 7 Revelation expected to bring the Remake trilogy's story to its conclusion, every new piece of footage is likely to be closely examined by fans. For now, they'll have to wait until August 25 to find out exactly what Square Enix has planned.
