According to a recent database entry in the Epic Games Store, the final installment of the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, scheduled for release in spring 2027, will receive seven additional content packs and a comprehensive story expansion after its release.
A tracker update revealed the product structure prior to the official announcement. Square Enix is thus continuing its strategy of monetizing the main game beyond its initial release date.
The leaked list In addition to the standard version, there's a Premium Edition and a Premium Plus Edition. The seven separate DLC packs are likely to follow the familiar structure of its predecessors. In "Final Fantasy VII Remake" and "Rebirth," these primarily consisted of cosmetic items, optional summons, and in-game equipment. This is classic filler marketing. Nothing new.
The Story Expansion Pass as a core element
The main focus of the leak is the explicitly mentioned Story Expansion Pass. This directly points to a larger narrative expansion, comparable to the INTERmission episode from "Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade." Director Naoki Hamaguchi had already hinted at this possibility at the Tokyo Game Show last year. Now it's confirmed.
The technical and content-related question remains: what direction should it take? Square Enix must decide whether the studio integrates remaining fragments of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII – such as Dirge of Cerberus or elements from Advent Children – or designs completely new storylines.
The multi-platform strategy is also finalized. The game will be released simultaneously for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The hardware base is as broad as possible compared to its timed-exclusive predecessors.
The leak proves that the supposed finale in spring 2027 is not the end of the story. Buyers should be prepared for Square Enix's established service model. Those seeking the complete narrative experience will have to pay extra. Starting on day one requires patience or the budget for the premium editions. Waiting for the Complete Edition remains the most economically sensible option.
I enjoyed FFVII Remake + Intergrad. Juffie was fun. Rebirth was too drawn out for me; I got bored after a short time.
My ultimate favorite game is still FFVII-Crisis Core.
I don't even know how many times I've played this.
That's still okay for me, as I'm celebrating the FF7 universe – it's a win, but I don't know how other FF fans see it. It seems like they want to squeeze the maximum out of the fans because otherwise they don't have any new ideas for the main IP.
FF16 was a bad DMC rip-off.
FF16 was a very solid game and I enjoyed it a lot. Furthermore, SE is big enough to work on multiple FF titles.
I liked FF16 ten times better than Rebirth.
FF7 on PS1 is 100x better than Rebirth. Intergrade was okay, but Rebirth just wasn't for me. It was like milking the place dry and stretching it out...
This is also due to the fact that the game was split into 3 parts; if it had been a complete experience, the passing would be completely different.
If FF16 were that solid, the game would have a much greater impact, even beyond that, but even the integration of Clive as a guest character in Tekken 8 didn't bother anyone.
