It's a tough day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as one of its mobile spinoffs, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, is set to close its doors. The game will cease operations on May 29th of this year, marking another closure in a series of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent times. If you're eager to experience 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: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is the latest in a string of Square Enix mobile titles to be discontinued. Interestingly, this closure comes on the heels of the original Brave Exvius, which announced its own shutdown in September 2024. This trend raises questions about Square Enix's strategy regarding their mobile game offerings.
Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, Square Enix appears to be facing a challenge with their mobile games. With a vast catalog of smartphone titles, including ports of classic retro games, the company seems to be grappling with an oversaturation of the market. This situation is particularly notable as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is slated to launch on mobile devices, offering fans yet another way to engage with the beloved franchise on the go.
The recent closures might indicate a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately means that fans will miss out on games they enjoyed. However, don't despair just yet; there's still a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings!
