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. The trailer showcased the Weapons, a submarine combat section, and more. The trailer begins with Rufus Shinra delivering a public service announcement on the Shinra News Network about the impending Meteor and the Weapons, reassuring citizens that humanity would "reign supreme" over these challenges.

We witness one of these Weapons attacking Shinra soldiers, as well as close-ups of the Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, and the Ultima Weapon. Gameplay footage features Tifa wearing the Black Mage class outfit, and a prerendered cutscene of the Highwind clashing with a Weapon. The trailer also includes a look at the submarine interior with Huge Materia at its center, and an underwater combat segment depicting the party navigating through the ocean as the submarine evades enemy fire.

Additional footage shows the team parachuting down from the Highwind and riding chocobos throughout the world, along with Yuffie exploring what appears to be Wutai. Most of the dialogue in the trailer revolves around the Weapons, with Vincent Valentine delivering a voiceover explaining that the Planet perceives humans as another threat to its well-being.

Cid responds, calling them "weapons of mass destruction." It remains uncertain whether these featured Weapons will serve as standard bosses or super bosses, similar to the original game. The game is still slated for a spring 2027 release, available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox PC).

This latest look at FFVII Revelation follows trailers shown at Summer Game Fest earlier this year, introducing the Highwind airship. Players will be able to control Cloud and co., traversing the planet in the airship and parachuting down to explore freely. The game also introduces the FITS system, allowing each character to adapt their playstyle based on Final Fantasy jobs.

Vincent Valentine and the Galian Beast transformation are notable gameplay additions. While more details about the game remain under wraps, director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed his intention to incorporate various Final Fantasy VII spin-off properties into the game's ultimate ending.
