A release date, a new platform and a playable-character reveal may all look like game news, but they answer different questions. The first organizes a trilogy, the second changes where an existing work can be found, and the third reveals part of a game whose regional release details remain incomplete.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the most structural update in this edition. PlayStation identifies it as the third and final chapter of the remake trilogy after Remake and Rebirth, with an April 8, 2027 date on PS5. That establishes a clear publication order without turning a demo into a full story summary.
Diablo IV and Mega Man offer two other discovery paths. Diablo's collection is available on Switch 2 through Nintendo of America; Proto Man has been confirmed as playable in Dual Override. In both cases, useful coverage starts by stating exactly what is confirmed — and what still requires market-specific verification.
The final chapter has a date, but it is not yet a review
Final Fantasy VII Revelation closes the trilogy in April 2027
PlayStation confirms Final Fantasy VII Revelation for April 8, 2027 on PS5 and describes it as the final chapter of the trilogy that began with Remake and continued with Rebirth. The official demo also featured playable Cid and Vincent and the new FITS system.
Platform, date, place in the trilogy and demonstrated features are official facts. This hands-on report is not a review of the complete game, and its scenes are not treated as a definitive story chronology.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy: the third chapter after Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, kept distinct from the original 1997 game's continuity.
Source date: September 17, 2026. Research recorded: September 17, 2026.
The safe publication path through this trilogy is Remake, Rebirth and Revelation. Story chronology and the differences from the 1997 game require a separate analysis. The demo supports claims about systems and playable characters, not conclusions about length, performance or the finished work.
A new platform is not a new continuity
Diablo IV arrives on Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo of America lists Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection as available on Nintendo Switch 2 as of September 16, 2026. The package includes the base game, Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred.
Availability, platform and listed package contents are official product facts, not a performance test, technical comparison, review or audience verdict.
Territory, continuity & evidence
Availability was verified on Nintendo of America's U.S. page. Other markets, languages and local storefront conditions are not inferred.
Diablo IV and its expansions. Moving to another platform does not create a separate story continuity.
Source date: September 16, 2026. Research recorded: September 17, 2026.
The useful fact is narrow: Nintendo of America lists the collection as available on Switch 2 with the base game and two expansions. That does not prove technical parity with other editions or a different story. Returning players should treat this as a platform edition rather than a sequel.
Proto Man returns with his own playable role
Proto Man is confirmed as a playable character in Mega Man: Dual Override
An official Capcom post on PlayStation Blog confirms Proto Man as the game's second playable character and details a distinct close-range style, shield and character-specific resources.
Playable status and demonstrated mechanics are announcement facts. They do not establish a local release date, final quality, balance or story events beyond the promotional material.

Mega Man: Dual Override. The mechanics shown for this version are not automatically applied to every earlier incarnation of Proto Man.
Source date: September 16, 2026. Research recorded: September 17, 2026.
The announcement clarifies Proto Man's mechanical role in Dual Override, but it does not complete the game's release calendar. NERDEXA does not apply this exact ability set to every prior version of the character and leaves unverified regional dates empty.

Coverage notes
- Silent Hill: Townfall was kept out of this edition: the official page title and body say September 24, while its URL says September 25. The conflict is recorded without adding either date to the calendar.
- Marvel’s article section continued to return HTTP 403. No new Marvel fact was reconstructed from indexed fragments.
- DC, Lucasfilm and Netflix were reviewed, but no material change justified repeating recent stories. Nintendo provided a full official page for Diablo IV.
- No new image was added because the consulted sources did not establish republication rights. No critic scores, audience reception, sales figures or performance data were collected.
