Nothing can be more devastating for gaming fans apart from their favorite game’s server shutting down. And if you love the Mobius Final Fantasy game then, this piece of news might bring in a bit of disappointment to you.

According to an official source, the Mobius Final Fantasy’s service will shut down on June 30, 2020. This announcement was made on the official website, a couple of days back. Players are also being notified that the game server will be shut down in June, right after the ‘Warrior of Despair’ storyline will come to an end.
