The ultimate chapter will drop concurrently on PS5, Change 2, Xbox and PC.
Conspicuous in its absence from Sony’s State of Play (presumably as a result of it did not want it with so many big hitters), Sq. Enix’s remaining chapter of its RPG remake is nearly right here. Throughout SGF 2026’s huge Friday night time showcase, we obtained a take a look at the FF7 crew’s continued world tour regardless of a sure member’s absence. (A spoiler from 1997 is nonetheless a spoiler.)
The trailer kicked off with a speedy abstract of the unique sport, framing it as a unique story of types. We additionally obtained to see the enduring airship Highwind in motion, with a brand new seamless integration between navigating the overworld onboard and on floor, with a parachute.
There is a transient view of Cid and Vincent becoming a member of get together battles correctly for the primary time. (Vincent’s restrict break transformation seems notably cool.) You will nonetheless have the ability to swap between characters throughout fights, whereas Vincent will have the ability to shoot elements of the surroundings in-game, though we’re undecided if that is restricted to sure chapters, as in Remake and Rebirth, or all through the sport.
A brand new gear system, known as Matches, will apparently unlock new movesets and battle boosts, whereas additionally providing a brand new diploma of customization to how the characters look in-game. (And a brand new method to generate profits on DLC?)
A 2027 launch could be a tidy method to wrap up Remake‘s journey, 30 years because the unique Ultimate Fantasy 7 launched on the unique PlayStation. Sq. Enix took one of the vital influential RPGs in historical past, remade it, closely adjusted the story and constructed a wholly new combating system.
We could not glean a lot about how the battle system’s been additional refined for the ultimate chapter, however I am positive there can be much more to discover / complain about. Will we see extra at SGF 2026’s in-person occasion, which kicks off tomorrow? Unlikely, as Sq. Enix would not have a presence this 12 months. Merciless, once I got here right here personally.
