"War of the Visions: FF Brave Exvius to Shut Down in May"

It's a somber day for fans of the Final Fantasy series, as another mobile title bites the dust. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spinoff from the main Brave Exvius game, is set to 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, marking a challenging period for the company's mobile gaming ventures.

If you're keen on experiencing War of the Visions one last time, you'll need to dive back 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, highlighting a trend of diminishing mobile titles from Square Enix.

The decision to shutter War of the Visions may reflect a broader issue of market saturation. Square Enix has released numerous mobile spin-offs, possibly diluting the focus and resources needed to sustain each game. This comes at a time when the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV is gearing up for a mobile release, offering fans yet another way to engage with the beloved franchise on their smartphones.

Despite the closure, Square Enix continues to maintain a robust catalog of mobile games, including ports of classic retro titles. However, the repeated shutdowns suggest a possible overconfidence in their mobile strategy, which unfortunately impacts fans who have enjoyed these games.

If you're feeling the loss of War of the Visions, don't despair. There's still a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to keep your RPG cravings satisfied.
