It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as one of its mobile titles, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, is set to be discontinued. The game will cease operations on May 29th of this year, marking another closure in the lineup of Square Enix's mobile games. If you're eager to experience War of the Visions one last time, make sure to dive in before the shutdown date.
War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is the latest in a series of Square Enix mobile games to be shut down. Interestingly, this spinoff is closing its doors even after the original Brave Exvius announced its own closure in September 2024.
Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, it's clear that Square Enix is facing challenges with its mobile game portfolio. The company has a vast array of mobile titles, including ports of classic retro games. However, the recent spate of closures suggests a possible overconfidence in their mobile strategy.
The question arises: what's behind Square Enix's decision to shutter so many mobile games? The simplest, yet most complex answer, is market oversaturation. With numerous spinoffs flooding the market, and the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV set to launch on mobile, fans have plenty of options to enjoy the franchise on their devices.
This situation reflects a potential overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately results in fans losing access to games they may have enjoyed. However, don't despair just yet. We still have a curated, albeit shrinking, list of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to keep your RPG cravings satisfied.
