Final Fantasy VII Revelation Director Assures Fans That The Base Game Will Conclude The Story
Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed that the base game will fully conclude the story of the remake trilogy, addressing fan concerns that potential downloadable content signalled the main game might end on a cliffhanger. Speaking in a promotional interview, Hamaguchi stressed that the development team is committed to wrapping up the series with Revelation, and any DLC would not be needed to complete the narrative.
Instead, Hamaguchi said any future DLC would likely take the form of a character-focused spin-off exploring "untold stories," similar to the Yuffie-centred Episode Intermission released alongside Final Fantasy VII Remake. He added that no concrete plans exist yet, with decisions on further content depending on player demand and reviews after launch. Final Fantasy VII Revelation is currently due for release in spring 2027 on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series S|X and PC.

Explained simply
Final Fantasy VII is a role-playing game first released in 1997, following Cloud Strife and his allies as they fight the Shinra Corporation and a powerful enemy called Sephiroth. The story became one of the series’ best-known, and Square Enix later began retelling it in a trilogy of connected remake games.
The first two games in the trilogy are Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth; Revelation is planned as the third. The original game’s story provides a broad outline, but the remakes have added new scenes and expanded characters, leaving players to discover how this version will end.
Downloadable content, or DLC, is extra game content released separately from the main game. The earlier Remake included Episode Intermission, a side story focused on the character Yuffie, so fans have wondered whether more such content might be needed to complete the trilogy’s plot.
