Cloud Strife and his loyal companions face a world that teeters on the brink of annihilation.

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 Reveal Trailer, the party sets off across a world without boundaries. The entire planet is freely explorable via the iconic Highwind airship. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, seamlessly transitioning from air to land. With Meteor descending and enormous 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.

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 project 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 Kitase, Producer

“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 project. 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

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.

REBEL WOLVES UNVEILS MORE OF THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER AND TEASES THE FUTURE OF DAWNWALKER SAGA

The villains of The Blood of Dawnwalker were in the spotlight of the Summer Game Fest trailers, but the saga has only just begun, and a journey across eras and continents awaits. The future of the series aims to take players across different eras in history, introducing new locations, antagonists, and stories.

During Summer Game Fest 2026, Rebel Wolves, together with Bandai Namco Entertainment, revealed a new trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker – a dark fantasy open-world action RPG that will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 3. At the same event, the studio presented a CGI teaser, offering a glimpse into the future direction of the series.

The Blood of Dawnwalker – Summer Game Fest Trailer:

The Dawnwalker Saga – A Glimpse Into The Future Teaser:

The CGI teaser shows where the dark fantasy saga is heading. Players can see Coen in completely different surroundings than the ones they are used to – a modern, 21st-century setting, offering a glimpse of where the overarching plot ultimately leads. As the developers revealed, the next installments of Dawnwalker franchise will span centuries, continents, and cultures across the globe.

The gameplay trailer focuses on what players can expect on September 3, when the game launches. The Blood of Dawnwalker will follow Coen’s origin story and his feud with Brencis, the vampire lord of Vale Sangora, a mysterious region in the Carpathian Mountains. This journey will end with a definitive and self-contained conclusion, shaped by the choices made by players during the adventure. The developers confirmed that the game is set entirely in the 14th century, free of cliffhangers or unresolved plot threads.

I have a feeling that today’s presentation may have surprised many of you who did not expect Coen’s saga to move into modern times. However, I would like to emphasize that each installment in the series will be a standalone game with its own story, without narrative cliffhangers, unresolved plot threads, or time travel ideas. Since forming Rebel Wolves, we have been very clear that we aim for The Blood of Dawnwalker to be a self-contained story, and now, as we approach the release of the first chapter, we wanted to shed a bit more light on our wider perspective and tease where the story ultimately leadsexplains Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves.

I love the potential that lies within Coen, as well as his powers and abilities as a Dawnwalker. His journey begins in a dark 14th-century fantasy world – a setting players deeply enjoy – and while it may feel familiar, the unique Carpathian Mountains setting will allow us to surprise them more than once. The next installments of his saga will bring new stories and new characters, but they will take place in different eras, locations, and cultures. Writing the narrative for projects of this scale is an incredibly satisfying undertaking. And while Coen and Brencis’ conflict will reach its conclusion in The Blood of Dawnwalker, attentive players will certainly come across breadcrumbs related to the overarching plot spanning the saga. I would love to share more, but for now, let’s wait for September 3 – the release of the game adds Jakub Szamałek, Narrative Director at Rebel Wolves.

The latest trailers presented during Summer Game Fest 2026 are available on the official Dawnwalker YouTube channel.

The Blood of Dawnwalker, the first game by Rebel Wolves, is developed using Unreal Engine 5 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game will launch on September 3 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders on all platforms are already available, and players can add the game to their wishlist. More details can be found on the official website: dawnwalkergame.com.

About The Blood of Dawnwalker

Fourteenth-century Europe is engulfed in chaos – bloody wars tear the continent apart, and the Black Death takes a deadly toll. This moment of weakness is seized by a clique of powerful vampires. The time of great change is coming – for everyone.

You play as Coen, a young man who has become a Dawnwalker – human by day, vampire by night, sharing the strengths and weaknesses of both worlds.

Players follow Coen’s journey as he fights to save his family from Brencis, the vampire lord who rules his homeland, Vale Sangora – a mysterious region in the Carpathian Mountains. Along the way, he navigates uneasy alliances and dramatic confrontations, forging his own path in a world where every choice shapes both the story and the gameplay.

Charles Bardin, Co-Founder and Creative Director, Glee-Cheese Studio, said: 

“Music has a unique power. One song can instantly transport you back to a specific moment, a person you loved, or a memory you thought was lost forever. MR. RECORDS was born from that feeling. We wanted to create a game that celebrates not only music itself, but the stories, emotions and moments we attach to it throughout our lives. George’s journey is about rediscovering joy, embracing change, and finding the courage to finally chase the dreams you’ve spent years putting aside. We cannot wait for players to drop the needle and discover those stories for themselves. “ 

Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions, said: 

“We publish games from amazing people with stories that deserve to be heard, and MR. RECORDS immediately struck a chord with us. Beneath the brilliant rhythm gameplay is a genuinely moving story about life, memory and human connection. Glee-Cheese has created something wonderfully uplifting, imaginative and deeply personal. It’s a game that reminds us why music matters, and we’re incredibly proud to welcome Charles and the entire team to the Wired family. “
