Final Fantasy 7: Dear Destiny has officially been announced by Square Enix to launch in March 2027. This new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release puts Aerith Gainsborough and Tifa Lockheart front and center for a new story prior to Revelation‘s release next year.
Square Enix is two games into its Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, which is set to conclude with Revelation in April 2027. The trilogy began in 2020, with both releases so far being as critically acclaimed as the 1997 original. While a fresh coat of paint for the game might have sufficed, Square Enix has taken a more comprehensive approach, fleshing out Final Fantasy 7 for a truly modern experience.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Dear Destiny Novel Releases March 2027
Square Enix has opened pre-orders for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Dear Destiny, a new novel featuring Aerith Gainsborough and Tifa Lockheart that explores their lives leading up to the main narrative of Final Fantasy 7, featuring “a bonus short story set during Cloud’s time as a Shinra trooper.” It’s the sequel to Traces of Two Pasts, which released in Japanese in July 2021 and was not translated to English until March 2023.

Final Fantasy 7: Dear Destiny is planned to release on March 16, 2027. It was originally set to launch on January 28, but was recently delayed. Pre-orders are available now at $26.99 for a hardcover copy. Like the previous novel in the series, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Dear Destiny is written by author Kazushige Nojima, who has worked extensively on the series since 1994, so fans are in safe hands with this upcoming release.
One of the most impressive things about Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is how it has fleshed it out with additional media. Of course, players who only play the games won’t feel like they’re missing out key information by not engaging with the extra stuff, but those who do will definitely get more out of them as a result. Books like Final Fantasy 7: Traces of Two Pasts and Dear Destiny are the exact type of supplementary media that can enhance the game experience.
Fans are gearing up for the long-awaited launch of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation in April. Square Enix is still releasing key details about the title, with hopefully some surprises left to experience in-game. After that release is out of the way, the question will inevitably become whether the developer plans to do another massive Final Fantasy remake. Some believe that a Final Fantasy 9 remake is the obvious next step, given that it remains one of the most critically acclaimed entries in the series. Fans will just have to wait and see what Square Enix has planned.
