Final Fantasy VII Revelation Revives Queen's Blood With Nanaki Lead Ahead of Early 2027 Launch

Summary

  • Queen's Blood will return in Final Fantasy VII Revelation with its own story again, but this time Nanaki—not Cloud—will be the minigame campaign's protagonist.
  • Naoki Hamaguchi said Square Enix is also reworking the card battler's rules and balancing, aiming to make the Rebirth standout "even better" after its unexpectedly strong fan reception in 2024.
  • Revelation keeps the remake trilogy's heavy minigame focus, while adding difficulty settings, skip options and fewer combat-item rewards to address feedback that some side content felt overwhelming.
  • The game, unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2026 as the trilogy's finale, is due in early 2027 and will pair Queen's Blood's return with broader gameplay and story expansions.
