"War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius to Shut Down in May"

It's a sad 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, which served as a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius title, will cease operations 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 experiencing the game one last time, make sure to dive in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.

War of the Visions joins a series of Square Enix mobile titles that have been discontinued over the past few years. Interestingly, this spinoff is being shut down even after the original Brave Exvius announced its closure in September 2024. Regardless of the game's quality, it's clear that Square Enix is facing a bit of a crisis of confidence regarding its mobile offerings. This isn't surprising, given their extensive catalog of mobile games, which includes ports of classic retro titles.

The State of Square Enix's Mobile Strategy

So, what's driving Square Enix's decision to shutter so many mobile titles? One straightforward yet complex answer is market oversaturation. The company has released numerous spinoffs, which may have diluted their focus. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is poised to launch on mobile platforms, offering fans yet another way to enjoy the franchise on the go.

This pattern of closures may reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately means fans will have to say goodbye to games they may have enjoyed. However, don't despair just yet. We still have a (now shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to help you satisfy your RPG cravings!
