Square Enix Unveils Mobile-Only 'Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy,' Opens Android Beta Sign-Ups

Fan skepticism over the free-to-play approach follows the Tokyo-set reimagining.

Overview

  • The new entry reimagines Dissidia as a 3v3 team boss battle arena set in modern-day Tokyo with one-handed controls, returning Bravery mechanics, and defined roles across Melee, Ranged, Support, and Agile.
  • Square Enix targets a 2026 release on iOS and Android as a free-to-play title with in-app purchases, with detailed monetization systems not yet disclosed.
  • An Android-only closed beta is scheduled for November 7–14 in the United States, Canada, and Japan, with sign-ups open now and registration closing on October 28.
  • The initial roster confirms ten heroes spanning the series, including Warrior of Light, Kain, Krile, Terra, Cloud, Rinoa, Zidane, Lightning, Gaia, and Prompto.
  • Customization, full Japanese voice acting, and a story framing summoned warriors as "Ghosts" were highlighted, as media coverage notes backlash over the mobile focus and potential gacha elements.
