Customer support will remain available until Oct. 15, 2026. The companies suspended in-game purchases and blocked new user registrations on July 18.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title launched in mainland China in June 2025 and never reached a global release. The planned international launch has been cancelled, leaving the mobile spin-off available only to players who accessed it in China during its run.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a joint statement, Square Enix and Tencent said they were ending their licensing agreement, &#8220;citing adjustments to business operations and changes in the market environment&#8221; as the reason for the closure.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players were told that purchases and registrations will remain suspended through the shutdown timeline and were directed to the game&#8217;s support channels for information on refunds and account options.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Square Enix previously confirmed that another mobile title, Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, will end service on Oct. 6, 2026. That shutdown will leave the game&#8217;s episodic compilation of Final Fantasy 7 content incomplete, including a planned adaptation of the Before Crisis prequel that has not been released outside Japan.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both mobile closures occur in the weeks before two single-player Final Fantasy releases: the HD-2D title Final Fantasy Resonance on Oct. 22, 2026, and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, scheduled for spring 2027.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Square Enix and Tencent announced Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will close on Sept. 30, 2026.
