It's a tough day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as another mobile title bites the dust. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is set to cease operations on May 29th of this year, adding to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been shut down in recent years. If you're keen on getting your final taste of the action, you'll need to dive back into WOTV before the end date.
As a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius entry, War of the Visions joins the ranks of other Square Enix mobile releases that have met their end. Interestingly, this closure comes even after the original Brave Exvius announced its own shutdown in September 2024.
Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, it's clear that Square Enix has been reevaluating its mobile strategy. With a vast array of mobile titles, including ports of classic retro games, it's no surprise that some have not met expectations. This trend of closures could be attributed to market oversaturation with numerous spin-offs, especially at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is set to make its mobile debut, offering fans yet another way to enjoy the franchise on the go.
This series of shutdowns might reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately means that fans will lose access to games they may have enjoyed. However, don't despair just yet; we still have a (now dwindling) list of the best Final Fantasy games on mobile to help you satisfy your RPG cravings!
