Square Enix might have just welcomed one of its most successful launches ever in Final Fantasy 16, but that doesn't mean that it's immune to a few duds. Case in point, Just Cause: Mobile.
The promising mobile game, which is originally intended to offer a compelling mix of single-player and multiplayer action, is now a casualty of Square Enix's financial turbulence. The gaming giant recently announced its decision to cancel the game, disappointing fans.
While experts predicted the unfortunate end of Just Cause: Mobile, the announcement leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of the game's enthusiasts.
Originally announced in 2020, Just Cause: Mobile was expected to launch in 2021, with an early-access version released in Singapore the same year. It promised a comprehensive gameplay experience with unique multiplayer options, including four-player co-op missions and massive 30-player brawls. However, despite the early-access versions and numerous regional roll-outs, the game was delayed repeatedly due to various development hiccups.
Confirming the cancellation, Square Enix brand lead Anne-Lou Grosbois-Favreau said, "It is with great sadness that we are announcing the end of development for Just Cause Mobile.
