We don’t yet know the details of the “Sephiroth” and “Vincent & the Turks” DLCs, but Square Enix expects Story DLC 1 to launch in winter 2027 and Story DLC 2 in spring 2028, with each available for separate purchase; pricing has not been disclosed.
Charging super‑fans for early access has become a common tactic for publishers to boost revenue, even though overall game prices and sales remain flat. It feels exploitative, turning fear of missing out into an extra charge.
Depending on perspective, “24‑Hour Early Access” can be seen as either a perk or a drawback. It’s a perk because fans get a single day’s head start before the general release, but a drawback because they pay an extra $30 for just that brief advantage, plus the usual bonuses, while DLC details remain vague.
