Tencent and SquareEnix Mobile Version of Final Fantasy XIV in the Works
TapTechNews July 6th, according to the game whistleblower Kurakasis who posted on the exputer forum on the 5th local time, the mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV is currently under development, which is one of the achievements after SquareEnix and Tencent signed a cooperation contract.
TapTechNews note: In 2018, Tencent and SqureEnix announced the formation of a strategic alliance, and the achievements of this alliance include establishing a cooperative company, jointly developing a 3A-level game based on a new IP, licensing existing IPs, etc.
And in 2021, the then president of SquareEnix, Yosuke Matsuda, once confirmed that part of the projects cooperated by the two companies are underway.
Earlier this year, foreign media reported that Tencent stopped an unannounced mobile game of the NieR series in December last year. This project has been in development for more than two years, and part of the reason for its suspension is the expensive development cost and franchise rights, and the team is difficult to find a convincing profit model.
Tencent and SquareEnix both refused to comment on this matter. SquareEnix said last April that the latest work in the NieR series, NieR: Automata, has sold more than 7.5 million copies since its release in 2017.
