Square Enix has released a lot of Final Fantasy mobile games, doing things like porting over classics like Final Fantasy IX (at a premium price), making original RPGs like Brave Exvius, and creating crossover free-to-play mashups like Record Keeper. ![]() MZ’s experience with mobile and strategy games and the name recognition of Final Fantasy likely helped make A New Empire a hit. That app has made more that $1.3 billion. The studio also created the hit mobile strategy game Mobile Strike (you know, the one that had all of those Arnold Schwarzenegger commercials). The game was most popular in the U.S., which accounted for 44 percent of 2018’s revenues. The early-game offer - apparently an iOS exclusive - is actually pretty good value for money, offering 600 Gold, 100 VIP Points, a ton of various resources and Speed Up tokens, and plenty more for only 4.99. That does not include sales of the Pocket Edition, an abridged version of the RPG with cuter, less realistic graphics that is out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and mobile. Final Fantasy XV, which is out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, has sold 8.1 million copies, for comparison. The $375 million that A New Empire brought in for 2018 equates to about 6.2 million copies sold of a traditional $60 console game. Final Fantasy has long focused on console-based role-playing games, but A New Empire shows how mobile games can make big bucks, too.
