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 shut down. This marks another closure in the line of Square Enix's mobile titles. If you're keen on experiencing the game one last time, make sure to dive in before the final curtain falls on May 29th of this year.
War of the Visions adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been discontinued in recent years. Interestingly, this spin-off is facing closure even after the original Brave Exvius announced its end date in September 2024.
Regardless of the game's quality, Square Enix appears to be grappling with a crisis of confidence in their mobile portfolio. This isn't surprising given their extensive range of smartphone titles, which includes ports of classic retro games.

So, what's behind Square Enix's series of mobile game shutdowns? The simplest yet most complex explanation might be market oversaturation with numerous spin-offs. This is especially notable as the highly popular Final Fantasy XIV is slated to make its mobile debut, offering fans yet another way to enjoy the franchise on the go.
This situation might reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, unfortunately leading to the disappointment of fans who enjoyed War of the Visions. However, don't despair; we still have a (now shrinking) list of the best Final Fantasy games available on mobile to satisfy your RPG cravings!
