It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as another mobile title from the franchise is set to meet its end. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is the latest Square Enix game to be discontinued, with its servers scheduled to shut down on May 29th of this year. This news adds War of the Visions to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. If you're keen on enjoying the game one last time, you'll need to do so before the aforementioned date.
As a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius series, War of the Visions is ironically closing its doors shortly after the original Brave Exvius announced its own closure in September 2024. This pattern of shutdowns suggests that Square Enix may be experiencing a crisis of confidence regarding their mobile game offerings. Despite the closure of War of the Visions, Square Enix maintains a substantial portfolio of mobile games, including ports of their classic retro titles.
Treading the OverworldThe question remains: why are Square Enix's mobile games facing such frequent closures? The most straightforward yet complex answer is that the market may be oversaturated with numerous spinoffs. At a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is set to launch on mobile platforms, fans have plenty of options to engage with the franchise on the go. This saturation might reflect a degree of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, unfortunately leading to the discontinuation of games that some fans were still enjoying.
Despite these closures, there's no need to despair. Square Enix still offers a selection of the best Final Fantasy games on mobile, ensuring that fans can continue to indulge their RPG cravings.
