Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Sets April Release Date And Teaches Sephiroth And Vincent DLC
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation launches on April 8, bringing the remake trilogy to a close while introducing new character DLC focused on Vincent and Sephiroth.
Square Enix has finally put a firm release date on Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, locking in an April 8 launch that brings the massive remake trilogy to a close roughly six years after the first installment dropped. According to a recent showcase reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the final chapter will feature fan favorite mechanics like high speed motorbike boss fights against massive ultimate weapons, alongside new exploration tools like a hookshot for vertical traversal and sidequests that branch depending on your active party leader.
Alongside the base game, Square Enix confirmed plans for a two part story expansion pass that will dive into some major fan favorites. One episode will focus on Vincent Valentine and the Turks, while the other puts the spotlight on Sephiroth. While a Vincent side story feels like a natural continuation of his legacy, exploring Sephiroth's background further risks stripping away some of the villain mystique that made him iconic in the first place, even if it is a smart play for digital sales and fan retention.
For players invested in the long form journey of this trilogy, the April release date gives us a clear end point to look forward to while raising plenty of questions about how the narrative threads will tie together. With Zack and Aerith finally sharing screen time and new gameplay systems rounding out the package, the final piece of the modern Final Fantasy puzzle is shaping up to be a massive community talking point well into the spring.
