Final Fantasy VII fans can breathe more easily: Final Fantasy VII Revelation should conclude the remake trilogy's main story in its own game, without leaving the conclusion tied to a possible DLC. The guarantee was given by Naoki Hamaguchi, director of the third chapter, during a promotional interview about the project.

The concern arose because of Square Enix's apparent interest in additional content. Hamaguchi, however, stated that the team is taking the mission of concluding the series with Revelation seriously and that development is continuing with this goal in mind. In other words, the central narrative should not end on a cliffhanger waiting for an expansion.

If a DLC is considered in the future, the proposal would be different: a spin-off focused on a specific character, exploring previously untold stories. The director cited the work done with Yuffie in Final Fantasy VII Remake Episode Intermission as a reference. Even so, the content has not been announced, and the possibility depends on a later decision.

“The story will be concluded in the main game. We are taking the conclusion of the series with FFVII Revelation seriously, and we are moving forward with development toward that goal.”

For now, Hamaguchi and his team are focused on finishing Revelation. The director explained that the team has not yet decided what it will do after launch. The public's reaction and reviews will be observed, and new Final Fantasy VII projects may be considered if there is significant demand and the creators come up with a new and convincing idea.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is scheduled to launch in spring 2027 on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. The confirmation gives players a clearer expectation: the third chapter will be responsible for wrapping up the main plot, while any expansions could explore untold stories of specific characters.
