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

It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as yet another mobile title, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, is set to be discontinued. Scheduled to cease operations on May 29th of this year, this closure adds War of the Visions to the list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down recently. If you're eager to experience the game one last time, be sure to dive in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.

War of the Visions, a spinoff from the main Brave Exvius series, is the latest casualty in Square Enix's string of mobile game closures. Interestingly, this shutdown comes even after the original Brave Exvius announced its closure in September 2024. The timing raises questions about the sustainability of these mobile ventures.

Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, it's clear that Square Enix is grappling with challenges in their mobile gaming strategy. With a substantial portfolio of mobile titles, including ports of classic retro games, it's evident that the company might be struggling with market saturation. This is particularly noteworthy as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV prepares to launch on mobile platforms, offering fans yet another way to engage with the beloved franchise on the go.

Treading the overworldSo, what's behind Square Enix's series of mobile game closures? The most straightforward, yet complex, answer might be that the company has oversaturated the market with numerous spinoffs. At a time when mega-popular titles like Final Fantasy XIV are set to hit mobile devices, fans have plenty of options to satisfy their Final Fantasy cravings on the go.

This situation suggests a possible overconfidence in their mobile strategy, which unfortunately results in fans losing access to games they enjoyed. However, there's no need to despair; we still have a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games on mobile to keep your RPG cravings satisfied.
