Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link Canceled

Originally planned for a 2024 release, the development team has put out a statement saying that it would be “difficult for us to offer a service that players would find satisfactory over a long period of time.”

The game was first announced back in 2022 and would “allows players to embark on adventures from the realm of Scala ad Caelum into the real world” while discovering a new, original story.

The development team has also apologized, especially to players who were looking forward to the game. While expressing gratitude over the support over the several closed beta tests, the team assured that they are hard at work with Kingdom Hearts IV.

“The Kingdom Hearts series will continue. We are hard at work on Kingdom Hearts IV, and hope you’ll continue to support the series as you keep an eye out for further updates.”
