Final Fantasy 7 Revelation gets a new look at Gamescom Opening Night Live in August

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the concluding chapter of the Remake trilogy, is confirmed for Gamescom Opening Night Live on Wednesday 25th August at 7pm BST. Square Enix made the announcement on X/Twitter, promising a "new look" at the game.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi will personally present the segment — a detail that suggests this goes beyond a simple trailer drop and could include gameplay, a release window update, or other substantial new information. Revelation is currently targeting a spring 2027 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Hamaguchi has also gone on record with Automaton to put DLC speculation to rest: "The story will be concluded within the main game. We're serious about concluding the series with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, and we're proceeding with development with that goal in mind." He did leave the door open for character-focused spin-off DLC in the vein of Final Fantasy 7 Episode Intermission, but stressed that would be separate from the main story.

Revelation was first revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026, and the announcement had an immediate commercial knock-on effect — Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth have since been selling several times better than expected. The trilogy wraps up a project that began with Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 2020, continued with Rebirth in 2024, and has been one of Square Enix's most ambitious undertakings in years, retelling and expanding the story of the original 1997 PlayStation classic.

Gamescom Opening Night Live is shaping up to be a significant showcase for the game, and with Hamaguchi on stage, fans can reasonably expect more than a cinematic tease. The spring 2027 window is still some way off, but August's show could be the moment Square Enix lays out exactly what the finale looks like.
