Recent reports from Niko Partners, a leading video game market research firm, suggest a mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV is in the works, a joint project between Square Enix and Tencent. This follows earlier, unconfirmed reports of the collaboration. Let's delve into the details.
Niko Partners' latest report details 15 games approved for release in China by the National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA). Among them, a mobile Final Fantasy XIV game developed by Tencent is listed. This aligns with previous, unverified industry rumors. Other notable titles on the list include a mobile and PC version of Rainbow Six, and mobile games based on Marvel Snap, Marvel Rivals, and Dynasty Warriors 8.
While neither Square Enix nor Tencent have officially confirmed the project, the inclusion in the NPPA's approved games list lends significant credence to the rumors.
According to Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, the FFXIV mobile game is anticipated to be a standalone MMORPG, distinct from the PC version. However, Ahmad emphasizes that this information stems from industry sources and lacks official confirmation.
Tencent's extensive experience in the mobile gaming market makes this partnership a strategic move for Square Enix. This rumored collaboration reflects Square Enix's stated commitment to a multi-platform strategy for its major franchises, including Final Fantasy, announced earlier this year. This strategy aims for broader reach and increased accessibility for their flagship titles.
