Square Enix’s new Dissidia Final Fantasy game may mean something bigger
A new Dissidia Final Fantasy game wasn’t on our bingo cards for 2025, but it appears that Square Enix has other plans. The company announced the latest installment in the popular Final Fantasy spin-off series via social media earlier today, alongside a teaser website that features background artwork and character silhouettes.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Dissidia series, it all began with a PSP game in 2008 that brought ten heroes from some of the best Final Fantasy games together in an action brawler fighting experience with RPG elements, duking it out in the name of Cosmos against the forces of Chaos. In 2017, the series went in a new direction with Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, a live-service free mobile game that leaned more heavily into FF’s JRPG roots, while keeping some of Dissidia’s unique quirks.
Square Enix has given very little away with its X announcement and teaser website, simply stating that the new Dissidia game is coming to Android and iOS, and calling it a “team boss battle arena.” Mobile gaming technology has come a long way since Opera Omnia launched, so there’s a chance that this next installment takes more inspiration from the PSP’s 3D graphics and brawling, but we’ll have to wait and see. As for the game’s cast, you can see ten character silhouettes on the website. One looks suspiciously like Final Fantasy VII’s Cloud, while others resemble popular Final Fantasy characters like Lightning and Zidane.
