It looks like Square Enix may be planning a significant post-launch roadmap for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. New data spotted in the Epic Games database points toward both a 'Story Expansion Pass' and a series of individual DLC packs, suggesting that the upcoming title could see substantial support after its release.
The discovery was shared by a user on the Gaming Leaks subreddit, highlighting several items added to the Epic Games database. Most notably, the list includes entries labeled 'Final Fantasy 7 Revelation DLC' numbered from 1 to 9. Given the game’s core cast, these numbers likely correspond to the title's nine playable characters.
The Mystery of the Missing DLC Entry
The sequence of DLC items is currently missing a second entry, a detail that has already sparked fan theories. With Aerith’s narrative arc in the Final Fantasy 7 trilogy, some are speculating that the missing slot might hint at specific, perhaps surprising, playable characters like Aerith or Zack becoming available through future content updates.
While the 'Story Expansion Pass' strongly indicates that Square Enix is preparing to release additional narrative content, the exact nature of these expansions remains unconfirmed. It is possible these additions could serve as remakes of spin-off titles—an idea that director Naoki Hamaguchi previously noted could happen if there is enough player demand. Alternatively, these could mirror the approach taken with Integrade, which introduced Yuffie as a playable character in a dedicated story expansion.
Looking Ahead to 2027
With Final Fantasy 7 Revelation still several months away from its 2027 release date, it is important to treat these database findings with caution. It is common for developers to include placeholder files in digital storefront databases long before final plans are solidified. Until Square Enix provides an official update, these items should be viewed as preliminary infrastructure rather than a confirmed content schedule.
Hamaguchi has previously expressed openness to integrating elements from spin-offs like Dirge of Cerberus and the film Advent Children into the main game. Whether these leaked DLC items are the vehicle for those ambitious crossovers remains to be seen as we approach the game's launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch.
