It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as one of its mobile entries, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, is set to be discontinued. Scheduled to cease operations on May 29th of this year, this game adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile titles that have been shut down recently. If you're eager to experience War of the Visions one last time, make sure to dive back in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.
War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spinoff of the main Brave Exvius game, is ironically being discontinued after the original Brave Exvius itself announced its closure in September 2024. This series of shutdowns reflects a challenging period for Square Enix, as they grapple with the viability of their extensive mobile game lineup.
The closure of War of the Visions, regardless of its quality, highlights a broader issue within Square Enix's mobile strategy. The company has been known to release numerous spin-offs, possibly leading to market saturation. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is slated for a mobile release, offering fans yet another avenue to engage with the franchise on their smartphones.
The series of closures might suggest an overconfidence in the sustainability of their mobile titles. Unfortunately, this means that fans are left to mourn the loss of games that many have enjoyed. However, all is not lost for Final Fantasy enthusiasts on mobile platforms. We still maintain a (now shrinking) list of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile devices, ensuring you can continue to satisfy your RPG cravings.
