Square Enix and Tencent Tease Potential FFXIV Mobile Game
Recent reports from Niko Partners, a video game market research firm, suggest a mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV is in development, a joint venture between Square Enix and Tencent. This follows earlier, unconfirmed reports of such a collaboration.
The report lists the game among 15 titles approved by China's National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) for release within the country. While the inclusion is noteworthy, it's crucial to understand that this information stems primarily from industry speculation and hasn't received official confirmation from either Square Enix or Tencent.
According to Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, the mobile FFXIV title is anticipated to be a standalone MMORPG, distinct from the PC version. This detail, however, also relies on unverified industry sources.
Tencent's significant presence in the mobile gaming market makes this partnership a plausible expansion strategy for Square Enix. The company's recent announcement of a multiplatform approach for key franchises like Final Fantasy lends further credence to this rumor. While exciting, it's important to await official confirmation before drawing definitive conclusions.
