The free-to-play RPG Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will end service on October 7, 2026. Sales of the paid currency Red Crystals have stopped, and refunds for unused paid currency will be issued later.
Square Enix announced on July 8 that Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will end service on October 7, 2026 at 15:00 JST. The game, developed with Applibot, launched on iOS and Android in September 2023 and on PC via Steam in December 2023. It was billed as another possibility of the Final Fantasy VII remake and featured stories from across the compilation series, including original content like the Young Sephiroth arc.
In a producer letter, Shoichi Ichikawa stated that balancing production costs with player demand for character weapons and costumes became difficult, and that providing quality worthy of the Final Fantasy VII name was no longer feasible. The decision to shut down the service, which will have run for approximately three years, was attributed directly to the unsustainable cost of meeting fan expectations for a title carrying the Final Fantasy VII brand.
Sales of the paid currency Red Crystals stopped on July 8 at 11:00. Refunds for unused paid currency will be handled later, with details to be announced in-game and on the official website. Players are advised not to delete the app or change devices until the refund process is complete. A roadmap for the remaining service period has been released, and a promotional video for a new chapter was scheduled for July 8 at 17:00.
