That's really disappointing, but I hope they find some other way of giving us the story that was going to be in the game. Like a Back Cover-style movie maybe.

Being a fan of this franchise is hell. Literal hell.

Im shocked but not suprised. Never good for a franchise to have a developed game get cancelled.

oh. oh well. we all new live service games were a dying breed

Not surprised. I always thought it would be difficult to sell a project like that to people outside diehard fans. It's dissapointing, but I hope we will get KH4 news soon

I'm disappointed for sure, but definitely not surprised. I'd been wondering for a while if Missing-Link was even still in development, and had a feeling they would be pulling the plug. Hopefully we'll get to see the game's story in some kind of format, though.

Woke up to the news and now I’m devastated. My day is ruined.

I really, really hope they do this. 😭

As an OG Kingdom Hearts fan I'll say this is definitely for the best. Plus, it was a HUGE mistake trying to make this game on the Mobile Game in first place. Nomura and this development team should've know that Missing-Link on the phone was never going to work. Missing-Link should've been on the console in the first place just like Final Fantasy 14 Reborn. I'm honestly not sad about this at all. After the incredibly slow and weak progress of Unchained X and Union Cross I consider this good news, in my opinion.

Yeah a Back Cover style movie is our best chance now, assuming they try to salvage the story from the game.

Either that or maybe they canceled Missing Link, to make a side story mainline game using the ML story?
