Square Enix confirmed at Summer Game Fest 2026 that Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the concluding chapter of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in spring 2027.
The announcement follows earlier Switch 2 releases of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, completing the developer's plan to bring the full remake trilogy to Nintendo's next hardware.
Background and context
Final Fantasy VII Revelation is billed as the finale to Square Enix's long-running Remake project.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi had signaled in May of last year that all three Remake installments would reach Nintendo Switch 2, and Summer Game Fest 2026 provided the formal confirmation and a gameplay trailer outlining key features and scope.
What the trailer revealed
The trailer showcased several verified gameplay and design elements.
For the first time in the Remake series, both Cid and Vincent are presented as fully playable party members.
The Highwind airship appears as the team's primary means of traversal, enabling dramatic drops from the vessel to the surface and offering a more open approach to world navigation than previous entries.
Square Enix also introduced the FITS System, a costume-based progression mechanic that changes character appearance while granting new ability sets.
Square Enix described FITS as a way to equip characters with role-like abilities similar to traditional Final Fantasy jobs, allowing for combinations such as equipping Aerith with black mage style spells or emphasizing Cloud's warrior capabilities.
On the story and scope
In a press statement, Square Enix summarized Revelation as the culmination of three decades of Final Fantasy VII storytelling.
The company framed the title as an expansive finale in which Cloud Strife and his allies confront the threat of Sephiroth and the impending destruction tied to Meteor, with the Highwind central to the party's race against time.
What this means for Nintendo Switch 2 owners
With the spring 2027 release window confirmed, Nintendo Switch 2 owners can expect the full Remake trilogy to be available on the platform.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation joins Intergrade and Rebirth on Switch 2, completing the trilogy's arrival on Nintendo's latest hardware and expanding the platform's library with one of Square Enix's most ambitious projects.
