It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as another beloved mobile title, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, is set to close its doors. This spinoff to the original Brave Exvius game will cease operations on May 29th of this year, joining the unfortunate list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. If you're eager to experience the game one last time, be sure to dive back in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.
War of the Visions is yet another casualty in the series of Square Enix mobile titles that have been discontinued over the past few years. Interestingly, this closure comes on the heels of the original Brave Exvius announcing its own shutdown in September 2024. This trend raises questions about the sustainability of Square Enix's mobile gaming strategy.
Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, it's clear that Square Enix is facing challenges with its mobile offerings. With a large portfolio of smartphone games, including ports of classic retro titles, the company appears to be grappling with market saturation. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is gearing up for a mobile release, offering fans another avenue to engage with the franchise on the go.
The frequent shutdowns suggest a possible overconfidence in the mobile market, which unfortunately impacts fans by removing games they may have enjoyed. However, don't despair just yet; there are still several excellent Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings.
