A new entry in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series was just announced, but fans are divided about whether it is a good thing. The first Dissidia Final Fantasy game was released on the original PlayStation Portable in the late 2000’s, and pitted the biggest heroes and villains from across the Final Fantasy franchise against each other in fast-paced, 3D combat.

A new Dissidia Final Fantasy game was announced earlier this weekend on Twitter and the official Square Enix website, which states it will be released on iOS and Android-compatible mobile devices. More information, such as the game’s official title, will be revealed on October 14, 2025 at 6:00 AM Eastern Time/ 3:00 AM Pacific.

New Dissidia Final Fantasy Game Coming To Mobile

Fans Are Divided On This Announcement

All across social media, Final Fantasy fans have been weighing in on this development, with many of them decrying Square Enix for releasing the new Dissidia Final Fantasy game on mobile devices instead of consoles or Steam.

Much of this skepticism is fueled by Square Enix’s track record with past Final Fantasy mobile spin-offs; titles like Final Fantasy: Record Keeper and Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omina would eventually be discontinued after just a few years, rendering them largely inaccessible to curious gamers.

Naturally, some fans are already weary that this new Dissidia Final Fantasy will meet the same fate. Others note that the idea for a Final Fantasy fighting game would be great, with at least one Twitter user suggesting that Square license the Dissidia sub-franchise out to Dragon Ball FighterZ developer Arc System Works.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Has A Mixed Track Record

The Series Has Been On Ice Since Dissidia Final Fantasy NT

The original Dissidia Final Fantasy was a big success, enough that it would spawn two sequels. 2011’s Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy told a prequel story and was highly regarded at the time of its release, to the point where some fans are still clamoring for a remake after Square Enix is finished with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series.

However, 2015’s Dissidia Final Fantasy NT was met with a much colder reception, despite bringing the series to arcades and eventually the PS4 and Windows. While the game sold well and was praised in its native Japan, other territories gave Dissidia Final Fantasy NT mixed reviews.

Square Enix ultimately admitted that it fell short of its sales expectations, and there hasn’t been a new Dissidia game since aside from the aforementioned Opera Omina. This will change when the newly announced Dissidia Final Fantasy mobile game eventually launches, though fans aren’t ready to get excited about it yet.
