Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Gets New Trailer at Gamescom 2026 Showing off Submarine Combat, Weapons, and More
Fans were treated to a new Final Fantasy 7 Revelation trailer at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase, where we saw more of The Weapons, a submarine combat section, and more. The trailer opens up with Rufus Shinra sharing a public service announcement on the Shinra News Network regarding the looming Meteor and the Weapons, assuring citizens that humanity will “reign supreme” over these obstacles. We get to see one of these Weapons wreaking havoc on Shinra soldiers, as well as special shots of the Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, and the Ultima Weapon. With the planet in peril, her guardians—the Weapons—rise to the occasion.Here's your second look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation, launching Spring 2027. https://t.co/DsKl9BZ2Rm— FINAL FANTASY VII (@finalfantasyvii) August 25, 2026 Gameplay footage showing Tifa wearing the Black Mage class outfit was is shown off, as well as a prerendered cutscene showing the Highwind facing off with a Weapon. We even get to see the inside of the submarine with the Huge Materia smack in the middle, along with an underwater combat section that shows the party navigating through the ocean as the submarine dodges attacks. Footage of the team parachuting down from the Highwind and riding chocobos through the world is also included, making for an extremely hype trailer that is leaving fans more excited than ever. Most of the dialogue in the trailer centered around the Weapons, with Vincent Valentine explaining in a voiceover that "the Planet sees us as another threat to her well-being, and rightfully so." "You call 'em planetary warriors," Cid says. "But I call 'em weapons of mass destruction!" It remains to be seen if these featured Weapons will be normal bosses or super bosses, in keeping with the original game. Unfortunately, no specific release date was revealed, either. Spring 2027 is still the ongoing release window for the game, which will release simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox PC.
