It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as one of its mobile titles, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, is set to be discontinued. The game, which served as a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius entry, will cease operations on May 29th of this year. If you're eager to experience the game one last time, make sure to dive in before the shutdown date.
War of the Visions joins a growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. Interestingly, this closure comes after the original Brave Exvius announced its own end date in September 2024. This pattern of closures raises questions about Square Enix's strategy for their mobile gaming portfolio.
Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, it's clear that Square Enix is facing challenges with their mobile offerings. With a vast array of mobile titles, including ports of classic retro games, the company seems to be grappling with market saturation. This situation is particularly notable as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is set to launch on mobile devices, offering fans yet another way to engage with the franchise on the go.
The frequent shutdowns may reflect a degree of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately impacts fans who enjoyed these games. However, there's no need to despair completely. We still have a curated, albeit shrinking, list of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to help you satisfy your RPG cravings.
