    FACE THE LEGENDARY WEAPONS IN FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION — NEW TRAILER UNVEILED AT GAMESCOM OPENING NIGHT LIVE

    New Gameplay Footage Shows Reimagined Superbosses from FINAL FANTASY VII, Plus the Summon Typhon and Open-World Traversal

    You know we had to share this, the one game series that I can not wait to see how they conclude. We’re also getting some looks at even more of the exploration.


    LONDON (Aug. 25, 2026) – During gamescom Opening Night Live, the annual presentation that kicks off gamescom, SQUARE ENIX debuted a new trailer for FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, the third and final entry in the epic, critically acclaimed FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION will release in Spring 2027 for PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC via Steam®, Epic Games Store and XBOX on PC.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION is available for wishlisting on all platforms.

    Watch the new gameplay trailer


    In the trailer, enormous guardians called Weapons emerge to defend a world in crisis. Making no distinction between friend and foe, the Weapons wreak catastrophic destruction upon the planet and its people. Upon desert sands, in mid-air dogfights and at the bottom of the sea, Cloud and his fellow heroes must stand against the colossal Weapons even as they toil to save the world from Sephiroth. A late-game element of the original FINAL FANTASY VII, the Weapons return in reimagined glory as standout battles in FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, some of which appear in ultra-challenging endgame battles as an homage to their original forms.


    The gamescom trailer also showcased the powerful new Summon Typhon and open-world exploration via parachute, grappling hook and Chocobo mounts, plus Cloud and Tifa in their Warrior and Black Mage FITS. New to FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, the FITS system introduces unique outfits that bestow new abilities and greater heights of power, with specialized roles evoking classic FINAL FANTASY jobs.


    In FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, Cloud Strife and his loyal companions face a world that teeters on the brink of annihilation. Grieving a beloved ally, and with their nemesis Sephiroth nearing godhood, the party takes to the skies aboard the airship Highwind in a race against time to stop Meteor, the ultimate destructive magic, and the total obliteration of the planet. The final battle has begun. Everything leads here. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION delivers the unforgettable, breathtaking finale to one of the most ambitious projects in video game history and the culmination of 30 years of FINAL FANTASY VII storytelling.

    In the game, the entire planet is freely explorable via the Highwind airship. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, seamlessly transitioning from air to land. With Meteor descending and the Weapons unleashing terror, the planet’s conflicts are many, and the party will need to divide and conquer. Choose where to go, who to help and in what order as the planet itself fights for survival. Make one last stand alongside a beloved cast of legendary heroes, making decisions along the journey that can impact aspects of their stories. Customize combat by switching between real-time action and Tactical Mode in the series’ acclaimed hybrid battle system, now expanded and perfected with new playable characters and powerful new abilities.

    Newcomers and fans alike can catch up on the series before FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION arrives by playing the first two entries, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, out now across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC. Players can take advantage of the Streamlined Progression feature in both titles, with options such as unlimited HP and MP, always-full ATB gauge and easier weapon ability acquisition to streamline and custom tailor the play experience. Both FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH have garnered massive critical acclaim, including several The Game Awards nominations and awards, over 140 perfect review scores and numerous Game of the Year accolades.

    FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right. The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title; and yet, as the developer, our hands alone cannot turn its final page. It’s only when you, the player, step inside and memorialize this journey that a new “legend” is finally born. We hope you witness the coming together of our hearts, and yours.”  Yoshinori KitaseProducer

    “I’m beyond excited to announce FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, launching simultaneously across all platforms in Spring 2027. I’m truly grateful to our fans who believed in this story and supported us for so many years. In this title, centered around “resolve,” Cloud and his companions will confront their respective convictions and continue their journey towards the final battle that will determine the planet’s fate. All the stories and emotions accumulated over the years will culminate in the most satisfying way with this experience, brought to you as the series’ final chapter. Please look forward to it.” – Naoki Hamaguchi, Director

    “As creators, we have carefully built and nurtured the FINAL FANTASY VII series over many years, expanding it through numerous spin-off titles along the way. Over time, we believe each fan has developed their own unique interpretation of the story, and our goal has been to bring all of these FINAL FANTASY VII stories together so that they ultimately converge in the final chapter of the Remake Series. While there may be a mix of excitement and uncertainty, we are confident that this journey will remain an unforgettable experience for years to come. Thank you sincerely for joining us and being part of this journey over so many years.” – Tetsuya Nomura, Creative Director

    Alongside the Reveal Trailer, an extended gameplay reveal gave fans an in-depth look at new locations and playable characters, plus the debut of the FITS system. Venture to lands reimagined in stunning detail, like the sun-drenched Mideel archipelago, the warrior nation of Wutai and the frozen wastes of the Northern Continent. Take up arms as the deft gunslinger Vincent Valentine, whose lightning-fast gunplay and ferocious, bestial transformations can devastate the battlefield. Cantankerous pilot Cid Highwind can control the tempo by quickly closing the distance for powerful single-target lance strikes or sweeping area-of-effect damage. Achieve new heights of power with the FITS system by equipping unique outfits that bestow new movesets, evoking classic FINAL FANTASY jobs like Black Mage and Warrior.

    “I won’t return to my coffin until we’ve put Sephiroth in his.”

    “The Leaping Lancer… the Dashing Dragoon… the one and only Cid Highwind!”

  • Orbitals released new gameplay!

    Orbitals released new gameplay!

    Finally we get to see more gameplay and get feel about the game Orbitals.


    Tokyo-based game developer Shapefarm and publisher Kepler Interactive have today revealed a brand-new gameplay video for their upcoming retro anime-inspired 2-player co-operative adventure Orbitals, blasting off this Summer exclusively for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system.

    Check out the new Orbitals gameplay trailer here: 

    today’s new video features commentary by two of Shapefarm’s creative leads: Game Director Jakob Lundgren and Creative Director Marcos Ramos. Together they explore a derelict space station with asymmetrical gameplay: one player must constantly recharge the CH1B1 drone’s battery with the Beam Cannon, while another uses the Scrap Hook to grab objects, levers, and doors to clear the path forward. Orbitals features many unique gameplay scenarios and puzzles throughout the course of the game, adding new layers and ways for players to engage with the environment using their trusty tools and wits.

    Learn more about Jakob and Marcos below:

    Jakob Lundgren – Game Director

    With more than a decade of experience creating narrative-driven cooperative games, Jakob has dedicated his career to bringing people together through play. His work on titles such as A Way OutIt Takes Two, and Split Fiction has given him deep insight into what makes co-op experiences engaging, meaningful, and accessible to players of all skill levels. He is driven by a passion for crafting varied and collaborative experiences full of charm and humor, where communication and teamwork are essential to succeed.

    Marcos Ramos – Creative Director

    With 10+ years of experience in the industry, and many more adoring anime, Marcos has made his life goal to craft riveting moments for players. Be it action, comedy, the grotesque; or like in Orbitals, all of them combined into one, Marcos’ approach is always the same: to weave narrative, art, and audio together in unexpected ways to create stories that are truly special.

    Just as Jakob and Marcos team-up in today’s video, players will be able to connect in various ways using their Nintendo Switch 2 console. Either by teaming up with two pairs of Joy-Con 2 controllers on a single Nintendo Switch 2 device for split-screen local co-op, or using the system’s GameShare feature to share Orbitals with another player on a compatible Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch device, players around the world can team up and save the day together as one inseparable team!

    Orbitals will launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 this summer and is available to Wishlist now. For more information, follow the game’s official social channels or sign up for the official newsletter on the official website at www.orbitalsgame.com
