War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is shutting down this May

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, which served as a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius entry, will cease operations on May 29th of this year. If you're eager to experience the game one last time, make sure to dive in before the shutdown date.

War of the Visions joins an unfortunate list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. Interestingly, this closure comes after the original Brave Exvius announced its own end date in September 2024. This pattern of closures raises questions about Square Enix's strategy regarding their mobile game offerings.

Square Enix's recent decisions might reflect a crisis of confidence in their mobile titles. Despite having a vast catalog of smartphone games, including ports of classic retro releases, the company seems to be struggling with the sustainability of their mobile ventures. The market may be oversaturated with numerous spin-offs, especially at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is slated to launch on mobile devices, offering fans another way to engage with the franchise on the go.

This situation suggests a possible overconfidence in the market, which unfortunately impacts fans by diminishing their gaming options. However, there's no need to despair completely. We still have a (now shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to help satisfy your RPG cravings.
