## Key points

- Evercold’s raid series will bring Final Fantasy 7 into Final Fantasy 14.
- Cloud and Sephiroth were shown during the announcement.
- The Gold Saucer update arrives on 28 October.

## Summary

Final Fantasy 14 will feature its most substantial Final Fantasy 7 crossover yet, with the upcoming Evercold expansion’s eight-player raid series centred on Cloud and his companions. The announcement is significant because, despite regularly drawing on the wider franchise, the long-running MMO has largely avoided directly adapting Final Fantasy 7’s characters and world.

Revealed at the 2026 Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Berlin, the collaboration is titled Beyond the Lifestream and involves Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi. Square Enix veterans Motomu Toriyama, Kazushige Nojima and Tetsuya Nomura are contributing to the raid, although its precise story and roster remain unconfirmed. Separately, the Gold Saucer will receive a Final Fantasy 7-inspired attraction, including a typing game, on 28 October.
