The director of Final Fantasy VII Revelation says he is working to secure a physical release for the game, but cannot confirm details at this stage.

Naoki Hamaguchi told GamesRadar that he was "working to make the arrangements to allow us to have some kind of physical edition" of FF7 Revelation, the third and final entry in Square Enix's remake trilogy of the 1997 PlayStation classic. Speaking about the game's product lineup, he added: "We're still having internal discussions on what the exact SKU product lineup is going to be for Revelation, so I can't say anything particularly definitive at this point in time" (VGC).

An SKU, or stock-keeping unit, is retail shorthand for a specific version of a product — a standard boxed copy, a deluxe edition with extras, or a collector's bundle each counts as a separate SKU. Hamaguchi's uncertainty reflects the practical complications of putting a game on a disc or cartridge in 2026. Each platform holder — Nintendo, Sony, others — sets its own rules for physical formats, from storage limits on Switch game cards to the capacity of Blu-ray discs. Those constraints feed directly into what a publisher can realistically manufacture.

The comments came in a wider GamesRadar interview that also touched on Final Fantasy XIV, the long-running online instalment in the series. Hamaguchi spoke warmly about physical media more broadly, calling it "a wonderful culture" and saying "it would be a shame to lose that" (GamesRadar).

His remarks land as Sony, maker of the PlayStation 5, has been shifting its business toward digital distribution — selling games as downloads through the PlayStation Store rather than on physical discs. GamesRadar framed the director's inability to guarantee a physical edition against that industry-wide drift away from packaged media.

For context, Square Enix already sells a physical bundle of the remake trilogy's first two entries: the "FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE & REBIRTH — Twin Pack Physical Edition" is available through the publisher's North American store. A comparable physical release for Revelation, the trilogy's finale, would close the loop for collectors who have been buying the series on shelves.

For now, there is no official announcement. Square Enix's newsroom contains no blog post or press release addressing physical edition plans for Revelation, and Hamaguchi's comments to GamesRadar make clear the decision is still being worked out internally. Kotaku and PlayStation Universe both picked up the interview, amplifying the director's remarks to an audience of players already watching for any detail about the trilogy's conclusion.

The message is simple, if not yet satisfying: the director wants boxes on shelves. Whether Square Enix and its platform partners can make that happen is a question still without an answer.
