It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as the mobile game War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is set to close its doors. The game, which served as a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius title, will cease operations on May 29th of this year. This news adds War of the Visions to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been discontinued in recent times. If you're keen on experiencing the game one last time, make sure to dive back in before the shutdown date.

Interestingly, this closure comes after the original Brave Exvius announced its own end in September 2024, indicating a broader trend affecting Square Enix's mobile portfolio. While the quality of War of the Visions might be up for debate, it's clear that Square Enix is reassessing its strategy in the mobile gaming space. This isn't surprising given their extensive lineup of smartphone titles, which includes ports of classic retro games.

Treading the overworldSo, why the spate of closures from Square Enix? The simplest explanation, though difficult to fully articulate, is that the company may have oversaturated the market with numerous spin-offs. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is slated for a mobile release, providing fans with yet another way to engage with the franchise on their mobile devices.

This situation hints at a possible overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately impacts fans who enjoyed titles like War of the Visions. However, all is not lost. For those looking to continue their Final Fantasy journey on mobile, we still have a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available to satisfy your RPG cravings.
