This information came to light during a Q&A session in Shanghai, where fans had the opportunity to ask Hamaguchi questions about the upcoming title.

“Well, it’s best not to say whether Cissnei will appear, but there is one thing I can tell you. This Final Fantasy VII Remake series is not simply a recreation of the original work. Rather, our goal is to create a new Final Fantasy VII that incorporates the settings and concepts of all the previous spin-off titles, such as Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core. Therefore, the appearance of Cissnei and the inclusion of Dirge of Cerberus soldiers in the DLC have that meaning. Since that concept will carry over into Revelation, there will be characters from various Final Fantasy VII compilation games. Each of these characters has a large, dedicated fan base, so we want to create a work that satisfies those fans” Hamaguchi said.

Final Fantasy VII: Revelation was officially announced during Summer Game Fest and was one of the week’s biggest announcements in June. The long-awaited game is set to be released in spring 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
