Steady business
Nothing much changed in Square Enix's mobile business, with Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Hoshi no Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light, and Kingdom Hearts Union X continuing to be top performers. It also saw an increase in revenues from its royalty income.
Notably, the company did not mention recent release Dragon Quest Rivals. The game had cleared seven million downloads in its first five days of release back in November 2017.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius surpassed 20 million downloads worldwide in May 2017. The game celebrated its first birthday shortly after, with Square Enix hosting "Fan Festa" events around the world to thank players.
