Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier was a 2021 free-to-play battle royale game developed by Ateam Inc. and Square Enix Creative Business Unit I, and published by Square Enix.[1][2] It was released for Android and iOS on November 17, 2021.[3] The First Soldier is a part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, a collection of spin-offs related to the original 1997 video game Final Fantasy VII.[4] Set 18 years before the events of Final Fantasy VII, the game takes place in the world of Midgar, where the players took on the role of SOLDIER candidates in a battle-for-survival simulation.[5]
Citing a failure to deliver their intended experience, Square Enix shut down the game's servers in January 2023.[6]
