It's a tough 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 entry, is set to cease operations on May 29th of this year. This adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years, leaving fans with a shrinking number of options for mobile gaming within the franchise.
If you're looking to enjoy your last moments with War of the Visions, you'll need to act fast before the game shuts down. Interestingly, this closure comes shortly after the announcement of the original Brave Exvius' own shutdown, scheduled for September 2024.
Square Enix's recent spate of mobile game closures might suggest a crisis of confidence in their mobile offerings. With a vast catalog of smartphone games, including ports of older retro releases, it seems the company may have overreached. The market could be feeling the strain of too many spin-offs, especially as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is set to make its way to mobile devices, offering fans another way to dive into the beloved franchise on the go.
While it's hard to pinpoint the exact reasons behind these closures, it does seem that Square Enix might have overestimated the demand for their mobile titles. This unfortunate trend means fans will lose access to games that some have undoubtedly enjoyed.
However, don't despair just yet. There are still several excellent Final Fantasy games available on mobile that can help you satisfy your RPG cravings, even as the list continues to dwindle.
