Square Enix hints more Final Fantasy 7 games will follow Revelation release date

In April 2027, the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation release date will mark the end of the remake trilogy. Still, in a GamerBraves interview, Square Enix company director Yoshinori Kitase implied more spin-offs are possible. Additional titles may draw mixed reactions from fans who believe the publisher has oversaturated the market.

During a conversation reported on by GamesRadar+, Kitase addressed Final Fantasy 7 Revelation: “We can confidently say it's the end of the series.” Regardless, whether gamers see new projects based on its story and characters could hinge on “fan reaction and how people come to enjoy this series and this finale.”

Kitase revealed how the original 1997 title was meant to conclude a chapter in the franchise. However, player demand led to Crisis Core and the Advent Children movie. Exploring events before and after the 7th entry, Square Enix continued to expand on the narrative. Shutting down in October, the mobile Ever Crisis was a compilation of existing FF7 material.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake debuted on the PS4 in 2020, showing an expanded Midgar. Ahead of Rebirth, the studio introduced INTERmission as a supplemental two-part story. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Deluxe and Collector’s Edition will also bundle a pair of DLC. Sephiroth and Vincent and the Turks should surface following its release date in 2027-28.

How much is too much FF7?

Even lacking post-Revelation spin-offs, the trilogy can be a chore for players to complete. How an occupied audience welcomes more titles may depend on when they arrive. Other critics would prefer that Square Enix turn its attention to a Final Fantasy 9 remake instead. A recent rumor suggested the long-requested project was on hold.

The publisher has proven it can handle multiple Final Fantasy games simultaneously. Final Fantasy 17 is widely expected despite the lack of an announcement. Still, comments at a fan festival in July raised speculation that FF7 trilogy director Naoki Hamaguchi would play a key role. With Hamaguchi also overseeing Kingdom Hearts IV, that could strain even an accomplished multi-tasker.
