Delayed game launched on March 15

The official Twitter account for the Final Fantasy Explorers-Force iOS and Android game revealed on Monday that the game will end service on February 19. An update added the final chapter of the scenario and new summons beasts. Details about the end of service are available in a notice in the app.

The game launched on March 15 after a delay. Square Enix originally planned to release the game in 2017.

Like the first Final Fantasy Explorers game, Final Fantasy Explorers-Force is a multiplayer RPG, but up to five players can collaborate instead of just four. Players become soldiers of FORCE, an army of the International Peace Alliance. Players can choose from jobs including Knight, Archer, Dragoon, White Mage, Monk, Black Mage, Thief, and Time Mage. Each job has its own weapons with different abilities.

The game again allows the players to occasionally transform into heroes from past Final Fantasy games. Characters such as Final Fantasy VII's Cloud, Final Fantasy VIII's Squall, Final Fantasy X's Tidus, Final Fantasy XII's Vaan, and Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning will appear. The game will also feature eidolons such as Ramuh, Bahamut, and Titan.

Square Enix released Final Fantasy Explorers for Nintendo 3DS in Japan in December 2014, and in North America and Europe in January 2016.
