Let’s be honest,Kingdom Hearts 4isn’t coming anytime soon. So fans of the series may want to look elsewhere to get their fix of the Disney-verse. Luckily, with closed beta recruiting beginning today,Kingdom Hearts: Missing-Linkmay not be all that far away.
As for theKingdom Hearts: Missing-Linkclosed beta schedule, iOS users are up first. Square Enix revealed that invitation emails will be going out around November 28, with the closed beta spanning from November 29 to December 8. Selected Android users will follow, with their closed beta launching at some point in January 2024. Square Enix recommends following theKingdom Hearts: Missing-LinkX accountfor future news on the Android beta.
Not much is known about the new mobile title to this point. At the game’s initial reveal, we were told that the adventure would depart from Scala ad Caelum and instead take place in the real world. The Heartless would once again be a focal point as players experience a brand new story. And if these words mean nothing to you, feel free to check out Destructoid’sfull Kingdom Hearts timeline explained.
Today’s trailer describes the upcoming game as a “GPS Action RPG”. It’s unclear how exactly GPS is incorporated, but you do see a real-world global map with various chests scattered about. Though the trailer also states you’re able to “travel the world without stepping outside”.
The trailer also teases the ability to adventure through various Disney worlds and collect Disney characters to aid you. In a couple of quick battle clips, we can see Mickey, Pinocchio, Winnie the Pooh, Ariel, Woody, Aladdin, Rapunzel, Tinker Bell, Simba, and a few others.
