As Final Fantasy 14's main version gears up for the Evercold expansion, Final Fantasy 14 Mobile has announced that the planned global release has been canceled, and the currently active Chinese servers will be shutting down, bringing the FF14 mobile experience to an end before it can even reach its full potential.
LightSpeed Studios, the team behind FF14 Mobile, announced on the official game website that the game servers will be shutting down on September 30, and therefore the global release won't be happening. According to the announcement, this change of plans is due to changes in business operations and the current market environment for gaming. As a result, LightSpeed's licensing agreement with Tencent that allowed the team to produce the mobile version of FF14 is being terminated.
The end of service for servers that are currently live will be staggered, and the schedule starts July 17 at 18:00 (UTC+8) with the end of top-ups and new user registration. Next, the operations officially shut down on September 30 at 11:00 (UTC+8). Finally, the forums and customer support services end on October 15 at 11:00 (UTC+8).
