Presentation details and event partnership

According to official social media posts from Square Enix, the new details will be presented by Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy VII Revelation. Hamaguchi is expected to join host Geoff Keighley on stage during the Gamescom ONL presentation to share comments regarding the new trailer.

  • Keighley Collaboration: This marks the second time Square Enix has partnered with Keighley to promote the game, following its initial reveal during June’s Summer Game Fest.
  • Target Launch: The JRPG remains scheduled for release in 2027.

Boosting ‘Rebirth’ and future outlook

Beyond building hype for the final chapter, promotional efforts for Final Fantasy VII Revelation are reportedly providing an added benefit by helping boost sales for earlier games in the trilogy, particularly Rebirth.

  • Potential Late-Year Showcase: Depending on what is shown at Gamescom ONL, another trailer could potentially be showcased late in the year during The Game Awards.
  • Director’s Next Project: As the extensive journey to recreate Final Fantasy VII nears its end, fans are already assembling wishlists for the next classic title to receive a remake. However, Hamaguchi may not be involved in future remakes, as the Revelation director stated he would like his next project to be an original game.
