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 another beloved mobile title is set to be discontinued. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spinoff from the main Brave Exvius series, will 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, signaling a challenging period for the developer's mobile strategy.

If you're eager to experience War of the Visions one last time, you'll need to dive in before the final curtain falls on May 29th. Interestingly, this shutdown comes on the heels of the original Brave Exvius announcing its own closure in September 2024, marking a bittersweet end for fans of both titles.

Square Enix's recent string of mobile game terminations suggests a potential crisis of confidence in their mobile portfolio. Despite having a robust lineup of smartphone games, including ports of classic retro titles, the company seems to be reassessing its approach to mobile gaming. This reassessment may be influenced by the upcoming mobile release of the massively popular Final Fantasy XIV, which offers fans another avenue to enjoy the franchise on the go.

The market saturation with numerous spinoffs could be a contributing factor to these closures. Square Enix's overconfidence in expanding their mobile offerings might have led to this unfortunate outcome, leaving fans to lament the loss of titles they've enjoyed.

However, all is not lost for mobile RPG enthusiasts. Despite the dwindling list, there are still several excellent Final Fantasy games available on mobile platforms to satisfy your RPG cravings. So, while we bid farewell to War of the Visions, the journey through the Final Fantasy universe on mobile continues.
