"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 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 War of the Visions one last time, make sure to dive in before the shutdown date.

War of the Visions joins a growing 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 shutdown in September 2024. This pattern of closures raises questions about Square Enix's strategy for their mobile offerings.

Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, it's clear that Square Enix has been grappling with a crisis of confidence in their mobile game portfolio. With a vast array of titles available on smartphones, including ports of classic retro games, the company seems to be struggling to maintain a sustainable lineup.

So, what's behind Square Enix's series of mobile game closures? The simplest, yet most complex, explanation is that they may have oversaturated the market with numerous spinoffs. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is set to launch on mobile platforms, offering fans yet another way to engage with the franchise 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, don't despair just yet. There's still a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings.
