Final Fantasy VII Revelation: story DLC, editions and what we know so far

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the third entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake series, and it was given a substantial showing during a September 2026 State of Play broadcast. The game is set to launch on 8 April 2027, according to its Steam page, though a separate report from late August 2026 placed it in “early” 2027. Beyond the base game, Square Enix has confirmed a two-part Story Expansion Pass with downloadable chapters centred on Sephiroth and Vincent Valentine, alongside premium editions of the title. As of early September 2026, no price for the base game or the expansion pass has been announced.

Release date The most concrete date available comes from the game’s Steam listing, which points to an 8 April 2027 launch. This was corroborated by a report from the same day that described the game as launching “both physically and digitally” on that date. A later August 2026 report had already referred to Revelation arriving in “early” 2027, which fits the April date. No further platform-specific release dates have been confirmed, and Square Enix has not said whether the launch will differ across regions or storefronts.

Story DLC and expansion pass A Story Expansion Pass has been officially confirmed, following an earlier leak through a third-party Epic Games Store database tool that was initially treated as unverified. The pass includes two story DLCs: one titled “Sephiroth” and another called “Vincent & the Turks.” Both are planned to launch between Winter 2027 and Spring 2028, though Square Enix has cautioned that the content and timing are subject to change.

The Sephiroth chapter has no plot details attached to it. The Vincent chapter, by contrast, explicitly references the Turks, the organisation Vincent belonged to before the events of the original Final Fantasy VII. That has led some to speculate the chapter may explore Vincent’s past or function as a prequel of sorts, but Square Enix has not confirmed any narrative direction. The expansion pass itself is described as including the two story DLCs plus an accessory called the Reclaimant Choker, which restores a small amount of HP when enemies are defeated, and a Survival Set of items intended to help in the early stages of the game.

Each story DLC will also be available for individual purchase after its respective release, and the full pass will be sold separately after the base game launches. No prices for the pass or the individual DLCs have been given.

Editions and bonuses Alongside the standard version, Square Enix has revealed Premium and Premium Plus editions of Revelation. Both grant 24 hours of early access to the main game, some in-game consumables, and an accessory. The Premium Plus edition adds extras including a digital art book and a mini soundtrack. It has not been stated whether these editions are tied to any particular retailer or platform, nor has the pricing for either been disclosed.

Gameplay and presentation The September State of Play included an “extended look at the vast world” of Revelation, according to Sony’s description of the broadcast. Details from that showcase have not been widely reported yet, so specifics on combat systems, exploration mechanics, or how the game connects to the previous two entries in the remake trilogy are not confirmed. The game was described in one report as a “JRPG remake,” but beyond that, no concrete gameplay features have been announced in the material available.

Platforms Revelation has appeared on Steam, which confirms a PC release. The game was also featured prominently in a PlayStation State of Play, and Sony’s blog post described it as part of a showcase that included updates from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners. That suggests a PlayStation version is planned, but no explicit platform list has been published. The earlier Epic Games Store database leak also implies the game may appear on that storefront, but that has not been officially confirmed.

What is still unknown Several key details remain unannounced. No release date for the story DLCs has been confirmed beyond the broad Winter 2027 to Spring 2028 window. The narrative content of both DLC chapters is unconfirmed, including whether the Vincent chapter is a prequel. Pricing for the base game, the Story Expansion Pass, and the Premium and Premium Plus editions has not been revealed. The full platform list is not confirmed, and no concrete gameplay footage or feature details from the September 2026 showcase have been made public in the reports available. Finally, Square Enix has not said whether additional DLC beyond the two announced chapters is planned, though the lead of the remake trilogy previously suggested DLC could happen if there was “significant demand” – that comment predates the official confirmation of the expansion pass and does not indicate any further content.
