It's a sad day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as Square Enix has announced the closure of another one of its mobile titles. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is set to cease operations on May 29th of this year. This game, a spinoff of the popular Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. If you're a fan and want to experience the game one last time, you'll need to dive back in before the final curtain falls.
War of the Visions joins an unfortunate trend of Square Enix mobile titles being discontinued. Interestingly, this closure comes after the original Brave Exvius announced its own shutdown, scheduled for September 2024. It's a clear sign that Square Enix is undergoing a period of reassessment with its mobile offerings.
Given Square Enix's extensive catalog of mobile games, including ports of beloved retro titles, it's no surprise that they might be facing challenges in maintaining player engagement across all their releases. The market seems oversaturated with numerous spinoffs, which may have diluted the focus and appeal of individual titles. Moreover, with the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV set to launch on mobile, fans have plenty of other options to enjoy the franchise on their devices.
This series of shutdowns might reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, and unfortunately, it's the fans who feel the impact the most. However, all is not lost. There's still a (now shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to keep you entertained and satisfy your RPG cravings.
