Square Enix Sheds £112 Million to Enhance Game Quality and Focus

Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. has reported a significant loss of £112 million for the fiscal year ended March 2024, according to Eurogamer. The japanese video game publisher is famous for its role-playing game franchises like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts. The loss reflects a strategic shift towards prioritizing quality and focus in Square Enix's game development approach.

Although they faced setbacks, upcoming releases like the Final Fantasy 14 expansion Dawntrail could boost profits.
