It's a sad day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as one of its mobile titles is set to be discontinued. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spinoff from the main Brave Exvius game, is scheduled to shut down on May 29th of this year. If you're keen on experiencing the game one last time, make sure to dive in before the deadline.
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 even after the original Brave Exvius game announced its own shutdown in September 2024. Whether you found War of the Visions enjoyable or not, it's clear that Square Enix is reevaluating its mobile strategy.
Square Enix's recent decisions may reflect a crisis of confidence in their mobile offerings. Given their extensive catalog of mobile games, including ports of classic titles, it's understandable that they might be facing challenges. The market may be feeling the strain of too many spin-offs, especially as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV prepares to launch on mobile platforms, offering fans yet another way to engage with the franchise on their smartphones.
**Treading the Overworld** So, what's behind Square Enix's recent string of mobile game closures? The simplest, yet most complex, explanation is likely market oversaturation with numerous spin-offs. As the mega-popular Final Fantasy XIV gears up for its mobile debut, fans have plenty of options to explore the franchise on the go.
This situation might reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately means fans will lose access to games that some of them have enjoyed. However, there's no need to despair completely. We still have a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings!
