Recent reports from Niko Partners, a leading video game market research firm, suggest a joint venture between Square Enix and Tencent to bring a mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV to the Chinese market. This follows the NPPA's approval of 15 games for import and domestic release in China, including this highly anticipated mobile title. Let's delve into the details.
Square Enix and Tencent's Potential FFXIV Mobile Collaboration
Still Largely Unconfirmed
Niko Partners' report highlights the approval of a mobile Final Fantasy XIV game, reportedly developed by Tencent. This aligns with previous, unconfirmed rumors circulating last month. While neither company has officially commented, the inclusion in the NPPA's list lends significant weight to the speculation.
According to Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners, the mobile game is anticipated to be a standalone MMORPG, distinct from the PC version. However, it's crucial to remember that this information is primarily based on industry discussions and hasn't received official confirmation.
Tencent's considerable influence in the mobile gaming market makes this partnership a logical step for Square Enix. This rumored collaboration reflects Square Enix's stated May announcement to aggressively pursue a multi-platform strategy for key franchises like Final Fantasy, expanding their reach across various gaming platforms.
