It looks like the existence ofFinal Fantasy14 Mobilehas been confirmed by the Chinese government.
The news was reported by Daniel Ahmad, director of research and insights at Niko Partnersvia X / Twitter. Ahmad writes that China has “approved a new batch of import games” withFinal Fantasy 14 Mobileamong them. The upcoming title is joined by an as of yet untitledRainbow Sixgame, aDynasty Warriorstitle, andMarvelRivals.
Abreakdown published on the Niko Partners websitegoes into further detail, stating thatFinal Fantasy 14mobile is in development at Tencent’s Lightspeed Studios and Square Enix with the Japanese publisher’s approval. Ahmad adds further context in a follow-up post, writing that the game is “expected to be a standalone MMORPG” that will be a separate experience to the main game.
And that’s all we know aboutFinal Fantasy 14 Mobileso far. While the mobile version will likely share assets with the popular MMORPG, it’s probably not going to be the full experience you’d get on console or PC. It’s easy to imagine the game’s cooldown-based combat system being somewhat streamlined for mobile devices, though.
Still, having a mobile version of the MMO makes a lot of sense. Player counts continue to rise following the launch ofFinal Fantasy 14: Dawntrail.The latest expansion is a transformative one, kickstarting an all-new story arc and introducing a graphical update that massively improves lighting, shadows and texture work.
The game has also recently been released onXbox Series XandXbox Series Sconsoles, allowing more players than ever before to take up the mantle of Warrior of Light.
