ComicBook.com notes that the Epic Games Store listing includes a 'Story Expansion Pass' alongside multiple DLC entries (DLC1–DLC9) and a 'Premium Edition' with a 'Pre-Purchase Bonus', indicating the listings may encode several potential story-based expansions, though they could also be placeholders or smaller content packs rather than major expansions.

RPGSite reiterates that the EpicDB listing mentions a Premium Plus Edition, Premium Edition, and a Story Expansion Pass, along with nine DLCs, but emphasizes that nothing is officially confirmed by Square Enix, underscoring the rumor status of these entries.
Database listings on the Epic Games Store suggest that Final Fantasy VII Revelation could launch with a "Story Expansion Pass" and up to nine DLCs, according to GamesRadar and Final Weapon. The game, the third and final entry in Square Enix's remake trilogy, is set for Spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Square Enix has not confirmed any of these plans. RPGSite and others stress that EpicDB entries are often placeholders, meaning the listings could reflect smaller content packs rather than full story expansions.
Epic Games Store Database Reveals DLC Details
A third-party tool called EpicDB, which pulls data from the Epic Games Store, surfaced the listings. ComicBook.com reports the entries include a "Story Expansion Pass," nine individual DLC slots labeled DLC1 through DLC9, a "Premium Edition," and a "Pre-Purchase Bonus."
GamingBolt notes that database updates point to up to seven separate releases planned for the title. The exact nature of each DLC slot remains unknown. Square Enix has stayed silent on all of it.
Nine DLC Slots Could Mean Nine Playable Characters
TheGamer spotlights one of the more specific fan theories. The nine DLC entries could map directly to nine playable characters in Revelation. The theory suggests that characters like Aerith or Zack could get their own DLC arcs, even though Aerith is expected to follow her death storyline.
This would make each DLC a character-focused story piece rather than one giant expansion. Nothing confirms this reading, but it has driven a lot of fan discussion since the listings surfaced.
Spinoff Tie-Ins With Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus Speculated
IGN reports that fans are speculating about potential tie-ins with past Final Fantasy VII spinoffs. Titles like Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core's Genesis character have all come up in online discussion. The idea is that Revelation's final arc could weave these older stories into new content.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi has previously said spin-off DLC could happen if there is enough fan demand. That comment has added fuel to the speculation, though it stopped well short of a formal announcement.
Treat All of This as Rumor Until Square Enix Speaks
Final Weapon is clear that the EpicDB listings "do not confirm any additional content." GoNintendo also flags the news as a rumor. EpicDB is a useful tool, but its entries are known to include dummy or early placeholder data that never becomes real products.
Until Square Enix makes an official announcement, all nine DLC slots, the Story Expansion Pass, and the Premium Plus Edition remain unconfirmed. Final Fantasy VII Revelation is still about two years away, so more clarity is likely a long time coming.
