Final Fantasy fans have a busy stretch ahead, with HD-2D game Final Fantasy Resonance releasing in October 2026 before the wrap-up to the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, releases next 12 months. January 2027 is shaping as much as be a very important time for the Final Fantasy 7 franchise, as well.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation‘s reported DLC line-up suggests its release date is the beginning of the top, not the top of the top, and it will involve tons of content. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is definitely the most important chapter within the remake trilogy, which is saying something given how big the open-world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is. And fans who want more of the story have one stop ahead of them in January 2027.

It sets the stage for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Rebirth, and Revelation, and it’s mainly required reading for any major fan of the franchise.
More specifically, Final Fantasy 7: Dear Destiny follows Tifa as she rebuilds her life at Seventh Heaven while avoiding the Turks’ investigation into Avalanche, in addition to Aerith as she makes a living selling flowers in Midgar while trying to find someone essential to her. Their separate journeys eventually begin steering each characters toward the events that outline the essential Final Fantasy 7 universe, and for fans, there’s still slightly presence of the one-winged angel that’s Sephiroth.
It’s believed that Traces of Two Pasts and Dear Destiny are only one stop within the novels within the Final Fantasy 7 universe, with more slated for future releases.

With the ultimate game within the trilogy still months away, the novel should give fans recent insight into two of Final Fantasy 7‘s most beloved characters while expanding the FF7 Remake universe ahead of its biggest chapter yet.
