Summary
Square Enix said Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will let players access the Highwind very early, opening a significantly expanded world map with Midgar, Wutai, Rocket Town and underwater areas explorable across a less linear structure.
Hamaguchi said player choices will matter far more than in Rebirth—altering progression, scenes and story developments—even though he wants the remake trilogy to end with one definitive conclusion rather than multiple endings.
Zack, the Turks, Vincent and Cid all get larger roles: Zack becomes central to understanding the remake trilogy’s altered world, Reno and the Turks gain more story focus, and Vincent and Cid arrive with distinct combat styles and synergy abilities.
Gameplay additions include an early "Wear" build system, easier-but-not-fewer mini-games, and the return of the Tifa-vs-Scarlet slap fight, while the team is still working on how to do Knights of the Round justice.
The Summer Game Fest trailer ran on PS5 hardware, but Hamaguchi said the game is already running on Nintendo Switch 2; Square Enix is polishing PS5 and PC first before Switch 2 optimization ahead of a spring 2027 multi-platform release.
