Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is set to end service on October 7, 2026, with the final chapter of Before Crisis released on August 27. Paid currency sales stopped on July 8.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, the free-to-play RPG that carried the Final Fantasy VII name across mobile and PC, is shutting down on October 7, 2026. Square Enix announced the end of service in early July, and the producer letter from Shoichi Ichikawa pointed directly at the cost of meeting player expectations. The game struggled to balance production workload with demand for character weapons and gear graphics, and providing quality worthy of the Final Fantasy VII name was no longer feasible.
The game launched on smartphones in September 2023 and on Steam in December 2023, developed with Applibot. It was pitched as another possibility of the Final Fantasy VII remake and told stories from across the compilation series, including original content such as the Young Sephiroth arc. The closure makes Ever Crisis the latest in a series of Square Enix mobile service shutdowns.
In its final weeks, Square Enix released the last chapter of Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- on August 27, completing the compilation's narrative just before the service ends. That 2004 feature phone RPG had no other way to be played since 2018. Paid currency sales stopped on July 8, and refunds for unused paid currency will be issued later. Players were told not to delete the app or change devices until the refund process is complete.
