Summary

  • Early 2027 is the target for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, with director Naoki Hamaguchi saying the trilogy finale will launch simultaneously on all major platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Summer Game Fest hosted the reveal, capping a broader return of the franchise to Nintendo after Final Fantasy VII originally marked its shift from Nintendo hardware to PlayStation.
  • Switch 2 already received Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade in January and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth earlier this month, setting up Revelation as the first day-one Nintendo release for the remake trilogy.
  • Hamaguchi said Western fans have been more receptive to multiplatform launches than Japanese fans, but argued simultaneous releases could gain wider global acceptance if Square Enix keeps that approach.
