Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Store Listing Leak Hints at Story Expansion Pass
A backend storefront listing has revealed that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the closing chapter of Square Enix’s remake trilogy, may be heading into a substantial post-launch DLC programme, including an item labelled “Story Expansion Pass.” The entries surfaced on the Epic Games Store’s database and were first spotted by tracking tool EpicDB, with the find independently reported by Video Games Chronicle and Nintendo Wire.
What the EpicDB Listing Actually Shows
The listing includes a Pre-Purchase Bonus, a Premium Edition, a Premium Plus Edition, a Story Expansion Pass, and several individual DLCs. According to Nintendo Wire’s review of the same database entries, most of it contains placeholder entries titled “FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION DLC1,” and so on, running up through numbered packs. Oddly, one number is conspicuously missing from the sequence: there is no listing for “DLC2,” which is evidence that these listings are not yet meant for public viewing.
Video Games Chronicle cautions that not every line item necessarily represents major content. Some of these listings could be placeholders for content that will not be released, or they may be minor additional content, such as costumes. Still, the outlet notes that while it seems like concrete proof of DLC for the upcoming game, changes can be made ahead of release.
Why the Story Expansion Pass Entry Stands Out
Of all the placeholder text, one line has drawn the most attention from fans and outlets alike. Nintendo Wire describes it as the entry “sure to ruffle some feathers: a Story Expansion Pass,” arguing that its specific wording “implies Square Enix has more concrete plans regarding that specific add-on” compared with the more generic numbered packs sitting alongside it.
That reading lines up with recent public comments from series director Naoki Hamaguchi. Nintendo Wire reports that the story expansion listing does add up with what Hamaguchi has said in recent interviews, where he indicated the current plan is to finish the game and release it, without ruling out a larger expansion for Revelation. The outlet also points to the trilogy’s middle chapter as context, noting the only reason Rebirth never received an expansion is that Square Enix didn’t want to make fans wait even longer for a proper conclusion — a constraint that no longer applies once the trilogy actually ends.
Hamaguchi’s Own Comments on DLC and What Comes Next
The leak arrives during an unusually chatty stretch for Hamaguchi, who has been fielding questions about both Revelation’s ending and his career beyond it. Video Games Chronicle reports that the director said he’s finished the game 40 times and cried every time. Asked directly about rumours he might next tackle a Final Fantasy 6 remake, he was non-committal, telling the outlet: “Right in this moment, I’m fully focused on completing Final Fantasy 7 Revelation and ensuring we’re delivering the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series in a perfect state, so that’s where I’m right now. At the same time, I do see a lot of fans and community asking me to take on the helm for a Final Fantasy 6 remake. So, I’m seeing a lot of that floating online, but, you know, a Final Fantasy VI Remake or any other remake, it could be me, or it could be someone else. Personally, I think that it might be in better hands if it went to another creator in Square Enix.”
Insider Gaming’s coverage of the same EpicDB data frames the discovery in similar terms, reporting that a new Epic Games Store listing for Final Fantasy 7: Revelation has informed players about the story expansion pass, with several new DLCs numbered from 1-9, along with a pre-order bonus, Premium Edition, and a Digital Contents pack. The outlet’s framing echoes what VGC and Nintendo Wire found independently, giving the numbered-DLC structure and the standalone expansion label credibility across three separate reports rather than a single tip.
Nothing Confirmed, Nothing to Buy Yet
None of the outlets covering the leak could confirm pricing, release windows or content details for any of the listed packs, and Square Enix has not commented publicly on the database entries. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation itself remains on track for a simultaneous worldwide launch, with Video Games Chronicle reporting the game is set to launch in Spring 2027. Until Square Enix issues an official announcement, Australian and New Zealand fans eyeing the trilogy’s finale should treat the Story Expansion Pass listing as a strong signal of the publisher’s post-launch intentions rather than a confirmed product — pricing and regional storefront availability for any such pass would only be locked in closer to release.
For context, the first two entries in the remake trilogy both received substantial post-launch content: Final Fantasy 7 Remake shipped its Yuffie-focused Intermission episode, and Rebirth followed with its own added content, though nothing on the scale of a full story-driven expansion. If the EpicDB placeholders hold up, Revelation would mark the first time Square Enix has attached a dedicated Story Expansion Pass to this particular trilogy, giving the studio a way to keep building on Cloud’s story even after the credits roll on its supposed conclusion.
