Hivemind's Dinesh Shamdasani, one of the executive producers of the planned Final Fantasy XIV live-action television series, revealed on his X/Twitter account on Wednesday, that the project has been canceled. A follower asked Shamdasani about any updates on the project, in which he answered that it was "dead."
Another follower asked if an animation project would have been safer, but Shamdasani replied that an animation would be harder, and that the rights are "back in Japan."
Jake Thornton, one of the project's writers, also added that the project's cancellation was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
