Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s DLC Plans Hinted as Expansion Pass Lists Appear
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation isn’t due for release for quite some time, but one question has dominated discussion ever since the game was unveiled: will it receive any extra downloadable content after the main story wraps? Final Fantasy 7 has a long history of spin-offs and side stories—ranging from Dirge of Cerberus to the movie Advent Children—that leave plenty of room for future expansions.
Revelation will almost certainly pull threads from those other entries, much like it already has with Crisis Core. Still, that also raises the bigger possibility that some of these ideas could be reimagined into something grander than a simple cameo. Director Naoki Hamaguchi has even hinted that additional spin-off DLC could happen if there’s enough player demand.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation DLC And Story Pass Rumors—What The Database Mentions
At minimum, it looks like Square Enix is preparing for the idea. A Reddit user named Cursed_69420, who shared findings with the Gaming Leaks community, pointed to newly added entries on the Epic Games Database that appear to reference DLC for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.
Among the additions, there are multiple mentions of DLC numbered from 1 through 9. That range lines up neatly with Final Fantasy 7’s roster of nine playable characters. However, the numbering reportedly drops down to 8 after Aerith’s death, which could be the reason DLC slot 2 is absent—though that detail is speculative.
If you’re willing to lean into a more conspiratorial reading, the gaps and numbering could suggest that Aerith—or even Zack—might become playable later in Revelation. Nothing is confirmed here, but the structure is interesting enough to fuel that kind of theory.
We sat down with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy director Naoki Hamaguchi to discuss the project’s many details.
What the “Story Expansion Pass” Could Mean
Even more notable is a newly listed item titled “Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Story Expansion Pass.” The name strongly suggests story-focused DLC is planned after launch, potentially tying into the same spin-off remakes Hamaguchi said might happen if the demand is there.
That said, it could also point to something entirely different—similar to how Integrade added content centered on Yuffie. Until Square Enix says more, there’s no way to know whether this is a straight adaptation of existing side material or a fresh direction built specifically for Revelation.
Quick facts (as reported via the leak)
- Epic Games Database entries reportedly add multiple items referencing DLC for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.
- References to DLC appear numbered 1 through 9, likely mapping to the game’s nine playable characters.
- The numbering reportedly drops to 8 due to Aerith’s death, which may help explain why DLC 2 is missing.
- An item labeled “Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Story Expansion Pass” suggests future narrative DLC.
Don’t treat it as confirmation yet
There’s also a real chance that some of these references are placeholders. Since Final Fantasy 7 Revelation still has roughly half a year before release, players should avoid getting too attached to any single interpretation until official details arrive.
