Final Fantasy VII Revelation release date: Launch Guide

The Final Fantasy VII Revelation release date is officially listed as April 8. Square Enix announced the launch during a PlayStation State of Play broadcast and described Revelation as the final entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series.

The game follows Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, completing the story arc established by those two releases. The announcement presents Revelation as an action RPG with expansive overworld travel, a deeper combat system, new regions, and more personalized character-focused storytelling.

For the latest confirmation, check the official Final Fantasy VII Revelation launch announcement before making final purchase or pre-order plans.

The release date matters for both returning players and newcomers. Existing fans can use the time before launch to revisit the previous two games, while new players may prefer the Trilogy Edition, which is designed to provide access to the Remake series in one purchase.

The official announcement does not provide a single universal release hour for every region. Until platform storefronts publish local launch times, players should treat the calendar date as the confirmed milestone and monitor their preferred store for preload and unlock information.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is scheduled to launch simultaneously across five platform groups: PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games. This broad release gives players several ways to enter the finale, although edition formats and pre-order timing differ between storefronts.

Digital pre-orders are available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Nintendo Switch 2 digital pre-orders are planned for a later date. Players choosing Nintendo Switch 2 should therefore check the platform’s digital store rather than assuming that every pre-order option is already active.

The physical Nintendo Switch 2 version is distributed as a Game-Key Card. That format requires an internet connection and a first-launch download. The official product information also lists at least 130 GB of available storage space for that download.

Physical versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S also require additional game-data downloads before play. This makes storage preparation relevant even for players who prefer buying a disc.

Before launch, confirm these details:

• Your console or PC has enough free storage.
• Your internet connection can handle additional launch data.
• Your preferred storefront lists the correct regional edition.
• Your account is signed into the platform where you intend to play.
• Your physical delivery estimate matches your launch-week plans.

The standard digital pre-order bonus is the Mecha-Chocobo & Moogle Summon Materia. The bonus is associated with digital editions of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, making it an important detail for players comparing digital and physical purchases.

Physical buyers may receive different incentives. A special day-one physical edition includes a Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Final Showdown promo card while supplies last. Pre-ordering a physical edition through the Square Enix Store also provides access to an exclusive Sylph summon materia.

The Premium Plus Edition is a digital option that includes the Premium Edition content plus several additional items:

• A digital art book.
• A digital mini soundtrack.
• Polydroid Alexander Summon Materia.
• The Nymphwing Bracelet in-game armor.
• The Risk Taker’s Choker in-game accessory.

The physical Deluxe Edition includes the base game, a physical soundtrack, a physical artbook, and a steelbook case. The Square Enix Store’s physical Collector’s Edition adds the Deluxe Edition contents, a statue featuring Zack, Cloud, and Sephiroth, plus digital items.

Edition names and contents should be checked against the store listing before purchase. Retailer-exclusive items are not necessarily included across every version, and digital and physical bonuses can follow separate eligibility rules.

Players entering the Remake series for the first time can pre-order the digital Final Fantasy VII Remake Series Trilogy Edition. This package is designed to provide access to Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth immediately, followed by Final Fantasy VII Revelation when it launches.

The Trilogy Edition is particularly useful for newcomers who want to experience the narrative in order. It also reduces the need to purchase each entry separately before reaching the finale, although the exact storefront presentation and regional terms should be reviewed before ordering.

The announcement emphasizes expansive overworld travel, a deeper combat system, new regions, and personalized character-focused storytelling. These descriptions establish the game’s broad direction, but they do not confirm every system detail, character role, map feature, or post-launch plan.

Avoid treating unannounced mechanics as confirmed. A reliable preparation strategy is to review official updates, maintain adequate storage, and finish the earlier games at your preferred pace.

Use this checklist to organize your launch preparation without relying on unconfirmed regional details.

The most dependable launch plan is straightforward: confirm the April 8 date, select the platform and edition that match your needs, prepare sufficient storage, and play the earlier Remake series entries if you want the full narrative context.
