Square Enix ‘Actively Exploring’ Final Fantasy VII Revelation Physical Edition

According to a new interview with Naoki Hamaguchi, Square Enix is “actively exploring” the possibility of releasing a Final Fantasy VII Revelation physical edition. The statement comes in the wake of PlayStation announcing that it would end all physical game production by January 2028, and its plans to double down on the plan despite the backlash. 

Hamaguchi said, “Personally, I’m in favor of physical editions. Nothing makes me happier than those moments at community events when fans bring their games for me to sign. I’d be a little sad if the culture of keeping games physically and sharing those memories gradually faded away… As for FFVII Revelation, I’m aware that, following SIE’s announcement, some fans have become concerned that the game might end up being a digital-only release.”

While this is all I’m able to share at this time, given the current stage of FFVII Revelation’s development, a complete change in direction would be difficult for us, therefore, we are actively exploring the possibility of releasing a physical retail version. That said, every platform has its own regulations, whether that’s support for Game-Key Cards or media capacity limitations. Right now, we’re discussing internally how to best preserve the game’s quality while also meeting fans’ expectations. Personally, I’d like to continue working toward making a physical edition happen.”

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is set to conclude the Final Fantasy VII Remake Series and launch in Spring 2027 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam & Epic Games Store. Recently, a new finding on EpicDB has revealed multiple DLC listings for Final Fantasy VII Revelation. This includes mention of a “Story Expansion Pass”, a “Premium Edition”, a “Premium Plus Edition”, and multiple DLCs.
