It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as another mobile title bites the dust. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spinoff from the main Brave Exvius game, is set to cease operations on May 29th of this year. This closure adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. If you're keen on experiencing War of the Visions one last time, you'll need to dive back in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.
War of the Visions joins a series of Square Enix mobile titles that have been discontinued. Interestingly, this closure comes after the original Brave Exvius announced its own shutdown, scheduled for September 2024. Whether or not War of the Visions was a hit among players, it's clear that Square Enix is facing challenges with its mobile game portfolio.
Square Enix's recent decisions reflect a possible crisis of confidence in their mobile offerings. With a vast array of smartphone games, including ports of classic retro titles, it's no surprise that the company is reevaluating its strategy. The market may be oversaturated with numerous spinoffs, especially as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is set to launch on mobile devices, offering fans yet another way to enjoy the franchise on the go.
This situation hints at a potential overconfidence in the mobile gaming sector, which unfortunately results in fans losing access to games they may have enjoyed. However, don't despair just yet. There's still a (now shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings.
