It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as yet another mobile game from the beloved franchise is set to be discontinued. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is slated to end its 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 keen on experiencing WOTV one last time, you'll need to dive back in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.
War of the Visions is not the first in the line of Square Enix mobile titles to face closure. In fact, it follows closely on the heels of the original Brave Exvius, which announced its own shutdown for September 2024. This series of closures might signal a broader shift in Square Enix's strategy regarding their mobile game offerings.
The decision to shutter War of the Visions could be seen as part of a larger trend where Square Enix is reevaluating its extensive mobile portfolio. Despite their continued release of mobile games, including ports of classic titles, the company appears to be grappling with market saturation from numerous spin-offs. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is preparing for its mobile debut, offering fans yet another way to engage with the franchise on their smartphones.
The frequent closures may reflect a sense of overconfidence or perhaps a miscalculation in market demand. Unfortunately, this leaves fans disappointed as they lose access to games that some have undoubtedly enjoyed.
However, don't despair just yet. There are still several fantastic Final Fantasy titles available on mobile platforms to satisfy your RPG cravings. Our updated list of the best Final Fantasy games on mobile remains a great resource for those looking to continue their adventures in the Final Fantasy universe.
