Last month, Square Enix announced a new mobile game for the Kingdom Hearts franchise. It was tentatively titled Project Xehanort with a contest to guess the final name. Square Enix eventually revealed the name to be KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROAD. Today, Square Enix announced that KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROAD will be launching through KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross] (Free) which will now be home to two full games. With the Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind DLC out now on PS4 worldwide with an Xbox One release set for next week, it is going to be interesting to see how Square Enix and Disney push the brand across a new mobile game and older games finally releasing on Xbox One. Check out a screenshot from the upcoming game below:

KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROAD is scheduled to release in Japan and the West this Spring for iOS and Android. It is free with in app purchases as expected. If you weren’t already tired of the naming system in the franchise, KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross] and KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROAD will be combined into KINGDOM HEARTS U χ DARK ROAD when KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROAD is added into the older game. It can be played without playing KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross] story wise and there will be a link campaign for current players of KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross]. Here’s the forum thread for KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross] if you play it and want to discuss the game.

Great news! Thanks
Ugh. Another useless casino game for big money wallets....
I played KHUx for almost 720 days.
Let me tell you one thing about this.
The devs of KHUx forked up the meta of KHUx completely. Once the game came out three years, you needed some brain and not just luck and (a lot of) money. Like nowadays.
The meat now is just one thing, get jewels, spend jewels, be lucky you get the right cards.
And, the right traits. Cause only by having the right cards does exactly nothing to you, if you have bad traits. Unless the boosts are good enough and you can use a copy card to buffer it....
Now I see this game. An almost 1:1 copy of KHUx.... literally no effort for the game, nor for the playerbase.
As used by SENIX. A money eater bank. Nothing to do with gaming anymore. Gambling it is and spend TONS of money.
Well. As a F2P freak, who spend maybe 50€ in 720 days of KHUx, let me tell you one thing about this.
It is not worth spending either money nor time on this cause all you do is feeding their wallets and what you get for it is ridiculously bad.
