Final Fantasy VII Revelation reintroduces Queen's Blood with Nanaki (Red XIII) as the lead, adds minigame difficulty options and adjusted rewards, and promises more side content while staying faithful to the original; the chapter is planned for an early-2027 release across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation reveals a much bigger world with early Highwind access, expanded Midgar and new locations like Rocket Town, plus deeper exploration of Wutai and Deepground. Player choices will more strongly affect progression and story, though the team aims for a single ending. Zack receives a larger role, the Turks get more focus, and guest party members appear; Vincent and Cid gain new moves, Knights of the Round is being adapted, and the affinity system is reworked. The game is targeting a multi‑platform release, with PS5/PC polish prioritized before Switch 2 timing for next spring.
