Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis Dies Before The Remake Trilogy Ends
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, a gacha game covering stories from the Final Fantasy VII series, will shut down on October 6th, 2024 due to difficulties balancing production costs with player demand for character weapons and gear.
- Launched in 2023 on mobile and PC, Ever Crisis featured simplified combat, new stories, expanded character backstories, and alternate universe scenarios, distinguishing it from a straightforward retelling of the original game.
- This shutdown follows a similar pattern, as Square Enix previously closed Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, a battle royale mobile game, after two years of operation.
- Despite the impending closure, the development team plans to release significant content in the game's final months, including rerunning past events and a final story chapter to conclude the experience.
