Final Fantasy 7 Revelation May Get Story DLC Based On Leak

A recent leak from the Epic Games Store database suggests that Final Fantasy VII Revelation may include a story DLC, unlike its predecessor, Rebirth, which only received minor bonus items. The leak references a 'Story Expansion Pass,' which was not present in previous entries of the trilogy. While the details remain unclear, fans are hopeful for a substantial story expansion, especially as Revelation is the final game in the trilogy. Director Naoki Hamaguchi previously stated that the team's focus was on delivering the third installment quickly rather than adding DLC for Rebirth. With no fourth game in the works, there may now be more time to develop additional content for Revelation.
