Final Fantasy VII Revelation – Dates and DLCs
Elsewhere in the Final Fantasy universe, the final chapter of the widely acclaimed remake series, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, is making strides towards its release. According to My Nintendo News, the game’s release date has been set for the 8th of April 2027, also marking its availability on the Nintendo Switch 2 among other platforms. While fans prepare for this much-anticipated drop, additional promises of extended gameplay through two upcoming DLC packs have been confirmed. Details about these expansions, titled ‘Sephiroth’ and ‘Vincent and the Turks,’ remain sparse but are sure to pique the interest of longtime fans.
Additional Highlights: Splatoon and Review Scores
Away from the realm of Final Fantasy, Nintendo also caters to Splatoon enthusiasts with the announcement of an art book set for release later this year. As reported by Nintendo Everything, The Art of Splatoon 3, a collaborative effort with Dark Horse Books, will launch on December 1, 2026. Fans can anticipate an extensive collection featuring character designs, weapons, and developer insights across 400 pages.
In the review sector, Nintendo Everything lists recent scores from EDGE magazine, where they highlighted Nintendo-related games such as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which received a respectable score. Meanwhile, strategy enthusiasts might find intrigue in Pure Nintendo’s review of Brigandine Abyss for the Switch 2, a game characterized by its engrossing tactical gameplay.
Though less pertinent to Nintendo specifically, news from Nintendo Life highlights Bandai Namco’s plans for expanding the Digimon franchise in 2027 through a major update to Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which might intersect with the interests of Pokemon players who dabble in similar genres.
