A new leak related to Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is circulating on social media following a post on ResetEra, where a user claimed to share details from a source connected to Square Enix marketing and Summer Game Fest 2026 preparations.
(Trailer) Title announcement of "Final Fantasy VII Return".
(Trailer) "Early 2027" launch window.
(Trailer) Three additional permanently playable party members, one being brand-new.
(Trailer) New optional combat system named "Active Turn Action".
(Developer overview) Over 3x more narrative cinematics as featured in Rebirth in terms of duration.
(Developer overview) Over 2x the world size as featured in Rebirth, including returning to Midgar.
(Developer overview) Details on the new optional Active Turn Action combat system.
(Developer overview) Final Fantasy VII Remake Triple-Pack sale: Remake, Rebirth, and Crisis Core Reunion, all bundled in one collection for a holiday release, targeting players new to the trilogy preparing for the finale next year.
The level of detail raises questions, as it seems unlikely that this much information would be shared at the first reveal of the final installment. ResetEra user and community-recognized insider LaytonWright responded to the claims and dismissed the leak’s credibility.
“Just catching up as having been away. Leak is soooo off.”
As with all rumors, the information remains speculative. Confirmation will likely come during Summer Game Fest on June 5. Until then, only official communication from Square Enix should be considered reliable.
