Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier
This one hurts me. Developer Ateam’s free-to-play, mobile-only battle royale Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier will shut down on January 11, 2023. It wasn’t even a year old, but publisher Square Enix said it couldn’t “deliver the experience that we were hoping to and that you all deserve,” prompting the company to pull the plug. While this one won’t get taken out back until early next year, the fact that the death knell was rung just a few months before 2022 ended felt like cause enough to add it, and I’m bummed about it.
