It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as another beloved mobile title bites the dust. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spinoff from the main Brave Exvius saga, is set to cease operations on May 29th of this year. This closure adds to the growing 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, make sure to dive back in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.
War of the Visions joins the ranks of other Square Enix mobile titles that have been discontinued, following closely on the heels of the original Brave Exvius, which announced its closure in September 2024. This pattern of shutdowns raises questions about Square Enix's strategy for their mobile gaming portfolio.
While the quality of War of the Visions may be up for debate, it's clear that Square Enix is grappling with a crisis of confidence regarding their mobile offerings. With a vast array of smartphone games, including ports of classic retro titles, it's no wonder they're facing challenges. The market might be feeling the strain of too many spin-offs, especially as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV prepares for its mobile debut, offering fans yet another way to engage with the franchise on the go.
This situation may reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately leads to disappointment for fans who enjoyed these games. However, all is not lost. For those still craving a Final Fantasy fix on mobile, our (albeit shrinking) list of the best Final Fantasy games on mobile is here to help you satisfy that RPG craving.
