I'm so excited for this. :')

 

ALL ABOARD THE FREAKING HYPE TRAIN! CHOO CHOO!

 

Peace!

This may very well be the first mobile game I'm going to pay for.

mmm

this better not hurt our chances at an actual KH game

or at least KH3dHD

KHx is in a different division.

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Will it be playable on tablets?

Yes. Lol.

OMG the hype is real. It is SOOOO real!

 

I'm excited to finally play this game. And it's free too.

 

EDIT: So this looks like our 2015 KH game. Now I'm definitely betting that KH3 is coming out in 2017 with 2016's game being a KH DDD HD ReMix.

Very good news!

 

It was about time lol

But then again this was inevitable

 

So this game, is it going to be an online game for android/iOS too or do they plan to make it a stand alone game?

 

Cheers!

Holy mother of Xehanort! Finally!

YES FINALLY :-D

 

I hope that the story is the same as it is in KHx[chi], and I wonder why they changed the name to Unchained Key?

Thats cool but I wonder if I can play my japanese account if I play it on android? hmmm?

Yes. Lol.

yes but if this is 2015's KH release they won't push something else out

Port in 2015 or 2016? No big deal.

They'll port the core games to PS4, don't worry. Lol.

it's a guarantee, sure, but this isn't like making a game, it's just a port, so I'd rather have it sooner than later

What are you worrying about? They're porting KHx to iOS & Android and they'll port all the core games to PS4 before they release KH3 in likely late 2017.

I'm not going to be getting anything KH on mobile, so I'd prefer a game I'll actually play. That's all there is to it

yassss we made it fam!

 

won't miss out on those KH3 story beats now!

I hope you like Theatrhythm and PS3 to PS4 ports.

I don't get too excited for mobile games but because it's Kingdom Hearts, I am looking forward to it. 

I hope you like Theatrhythm and PS3 to PS4 ports.

that's what 3DS is for

not that I'm particularly interested in rhythm games

It's happening!

 

SE have been going all out with smartphone games lately, Record Keeper, Mobius, Agito, G-bike

 

I actually like this free to play thing they have going, my only hope is that this doesn't take as long to localise as G-bike and Agito

What do you mean by different division? so do you think we will still be getting another KH game this year aside from Unchained?
