Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis adds Before Crisis Chapter 2 August 5

Before Crisis Chapter 2: Turks Offensive went live on August 5 in Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, landing on iOS, Android and PC through Steam. Square Enix says the chapter is part of a three-part series and will let players learn more about the Turks, which keeps this release firmly tied to FF7 lore rather than a throwaway event update.

That is the appeal for longtime Final Fantasy VII fans. The Turks are one of the franchise’s most recognizable supporting factions, and Ever Crisis has turned them into a recurring story hook. The previous chapter, Before Crisis Chapter 1: Turks Business, arrived on July 8, 2026 and focused on Reno, Aphromia, Verdot, Tseng, Rude and more, so Chapter 2 continues a clearly connected arc instead of jumping to a different corner of the compilation.

Ever Crisis is built for that kind of rollout. Applibot and Square Enix’s free-to-play turn-based action-adventure RPG uses its mobile format to keep story moving in smaller pieces, and the official English site reflects that live-service structure with News, Movie, Character, Game System, Gift Code, Facebook, X and Discord sections. For players who log in around new content drops, that setup makes the game easier to check back into when a new chapter lands.

The multiplatform launch matters too. With the same story arriving on iOS, Android and PC through Steam, Square Enix is keeping the chapter accessible whether players prefer a phone session on the go or a bigger-screen run on PC. That wider reach gives the release more staying power across the FF7 audience, especially for fans who want the story without switching ecosystems.

For mobile players deciding whether to return, Chapter 2 has a straightforward pitch: it extends the Turks-focused thread that began with Chapter 1, adds another piece of Before Crisis to Ever Crisis, and keeps the Final Fantasy VII compilation moving on a public schedule. That is the sort of canon-adjacent content this game is built to deliver, and the August 5 drop shows Square Enix is still leaning into it.
