Square Enix revealed the third and final installment of its remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, during Summer Game Fest 2026 on Friday.

The announcement follows months of industry speculation. Prior to the official reveal, [Push Square](https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/06/rumour-final-fantasy-7-remake-part-3-reveal-is-a-lock-for-summer-game-fest) reported rumors from industry insiders suggesting the third part was a “lock” for the Summer Game Fest presentation, noting that Square Enix had previously indicated the game was nearing a feature-complete state.
The new entry picks up immediately after the events of *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*. As the saga reaches its conclusion, the narrative follows Cloud Strife and his allies as they face a world on the brink of annihilation. According to [Variety](https://variety.com/2026/gaming/news/final-fantasy-7-revelation-trailer-release-matthew-mercer-1236768349/), the party must race against time to stop Meteor, an ultimate destructive magic, and prevent the total obliteration of the planet while their nemesis, Sephiroth, nears godhood.
New Combat Systems and the FITS Mechanic
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation REACTION – The ENTIRE Remake Trilogy Before KH4
Beyond the narrative stakes, the gameplay trailer showcased several technical evolutions designed to modernize the combat experience even further. One significant addition is the Function Integrated Tactical Suitwear, or FITS, a system that allows players to customize character appearances while unlocking new movesets and battle boosts.
[CNET](https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/final-fantasy-7-revelation-remake-2027/) reported that the title also reintroduces the ability to swap characters on the fly during active combat. This flexibility is paired with a new job system, offering players more diverse ways to approach encounters.
The gameplay footage also highlighted several high-stakes challenges:
The inclusion of “Weapons”—massive planetary guardians including Ruby, Emerald, and Ultimate—to provide significant combat challenges.
An expanded, open world that allows the team to journey freely across the entire planet.
The use of the airship Highwind to navigate expansive new areas.
Character Arrivals and Voice Cast
The trailer provided the first look at the final character to join the team: the gunslinger Vincent Valentine. Having appeared very late in *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*, his full integration into the party marks a major milestone for fans of the series. Voice actor Matthew Mercer returns to provide the character’s performance.
The party will also be joined by the pilot Cid Highwind as they attempt to forge the bonds necessary to overcome their greatest threat. Director Naoki Hamaguchi emphasized the emotional weight of this final chapter in a press release.
In this title, centered around ‘resolve,’ Cloud and his companions will confront their respective convictions and continue their journey towards the final battle that will determine the planet’s fate. All the stories and emotions accumulated over the years will culminate in the most satisfying way with this experience, brought to you as the series’ final chapter. Please look forward to it.
