Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Reveals New Voice Actor for Sephiroth


Square Enix has confirmed the English voice actor for Sephiroth has been recast for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed the One-Winged Angel would sound a bit different in the upcoming remake continuation during an interview with YouTuber and Final Fantasy 7 aficionado Maximilian Dood. He showed up to share more about Square Enix’s latest just hours after its Summer Game Fest 2026 reveal trailer pulled back the curtain with a first look at gameplay and a Sephiroth with a lower, gravellier voice.

Fans had immediately noticed the character sounded different from the performance actor Tyler Hoechlin delivered in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth. Hamaguchi said this is, in fact, due to the role being recast because Hoechlin was unavailable during development.

It’s too soon to tell how players who have followed Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake journey will respond to the voice actor switch. Although fans got a nice, long look at how Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will send Cloud and company into the future, the publisher was reluctant to share its release date outside of the promise to launch simultaneously across PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.

We’ll surely get to hear more from Willingham’s performance as Sephiroth in the coming months. Until then, you can check out everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2026.
