"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 Square Enix has announced the closure of another one of its mobile titles. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius will cease operations on May 29th of this year. This strategic RPG, which served as a spinoff to the main Brave Exvius entry, is the latest in a series of Square Enix mobile games to be shut down in recent years. If you're keen on experiencing the game one last time, you'll need to dive back in before the final curtain falls on May 29th.

War of the Visions adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile titles that have been discontinued over the past few years. Interestingly, this closure comes even after the original Brave Exvius announced its own shutdown scheduled for September 2024.

Regardless of the quality of War of the Visions, Square Enix seems to be experiencing a crisis of confidence with their mobile game offerings. This isn't shocking given their extensive catalog of mobile games, including ports of classic retro titles.

Treading the overworldSo, what's behind Square Enix's decision to shutter so many mobile games? The most straightforward, yet complex, answer is likely market oversaturation. With numerous spin-offs flooding the market, and the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIV set to launch on mobile, fans have no shortage of ways to engage with the franchise on their smartphones.

This situation may reflect a degree of overconfidence from Square Enix, which unfortunately results in fans losing access to games they enjoyed. However, don't despair; there's still a (albeit shrinking) selection of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings!
