Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link is a free adventure game developed by Square Enix. It's the latest mobile entry in the popular Kingdom Hearts JPRG franchise. It was announced during Kingdom Heart's 20th anniversary online livestream, and will feature a whole new story and cast of characters.

What makes Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link stand out from previous releases is it has more in common with its PC and console counterparts like Kingdom Hearts III. It will feature a similar real-time combat system, detailed 3D graphics, and a vast game world that players will be able to explore.

A nice surprise

What fans weren't expecting was this came along with news of a new mobile game in development called Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link, and it will be available across all mobile platforms.

Apart from its announcement, details around the game are still scarce. It takes inspiration from the mainline series for its design and gameplay.
