Final Fantasy‘s 40th anniversary is fast approaching in 2027, and Square Enix has announced a brand-new release to mark the occasion. This official new Final Fantasy launch gives fans something to look forward to as the franchise nears a huge milestone.
Next year will be enormous for Final Fantasy. There’s no doubt Square Enix has plenty up its sleeve to mark the 40th anniversary, not least the release of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, which will conclude the critically acclaimed remake trilogy. That game is set to launch in April 2027, and fans will be able to get their hands on another brand-new release at the same time.
Final Fantasy 40th Anniversary Square Enix Gallery Cards Vol. 1 Releases in April 2027
On the Square Enix Store, fans can now pre-order Volume 1 of the new Square Enix Gallery Cards, which includes a special pack to celebrate Final Fantasy‘s 40th anniversary. The collection features 180 different cards, using 97 pieces of artwork from the entire Final Fantasy series, including some that are newly illustrated just for this release. Each pack contains five cards, and each display box includes 10 packs. Each display box costs $49.90. Square Enix reiterates that purchasing a box of 10 packs does not guarantee every card type.
These cards come in different rarities, with standard cards in Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legend Rare. However, the collection also “offers unique and fun gimmicks made possible by Japan’s cutting-edge holographic and printing technologies.” Phantom Legend Rare cards feature 3D hologram effects, while Harmonic Rare cards include NFC functionality that lets fans enjoy music alongside the artwork. The set also includes one Ultima Legend Rare card, featuring a digital signature from Yoshitaka Amano and a serial number.

However, they aren’t expected to be released until April 2027, lining up with the release of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. Not all the cards have been revealed yet, so hopefully Square Enix keeps some as a surprise until release. The company has always celebrated Final Fantasy anniversaries in a big way, and it’ll be exciting to see what else it has planned.
It’s just seven months until the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy comes to a close. Square Enix is slowly showing off what fans can expect from Final Fantasy 7 Revelation in April, and it’s shaping up to be a brilliant end to the trilogy, which began all the way back in 2020 with Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
