New gameplay & story updates coming to Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ

A new mysterious item known as a ‘strength bundle’ can be obtained at the beginning of December in Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ which allows players access to brand new six-star strength medals to be used in combat. The medals' abilities will be increased dramatically and will unlock the sixth level of the medals' true power.

You will be able to equip a full deck of six star medals to the Keyblade from the 19th November 20:00 (JST) and Square Enix will also begin to add villain and darkness ‘reverse’ medals, which include the Wicked Witch disguise medal. These medals can be used alongside the more powerful silver and gold ‘upright medals’.

In preparation for the new ‘strength bundle’ the deck cost for the Keyblades increased dramatically, with the addition of a special avatar board. The bonuses on the board can be obtained through collecting jewels in daily challenges and as a usual login bonus. In addition, Cid medals will be given out more frequently with campaigns and events.

There is a chance to obtain more synthesis medals, sold medals and progression medals. These can be obtained through purchasing the 3000 jewel prize draw and the 1400 jewel draw available once per week. (Players who bought these will already have these medals unlocked.) These can be also be gained through the ‘All Daily Quests Open Until Sunday’ bonus and brand new quests that allow you to obtain a Cid medal everyday.

It appears we are going to receive the most exciting story update yet! In this monthly update, Unchained χ will tell Olympus Coliseum's final chapter by introducing familiar Disney characters and the Underworld to the story. The story will also begin to introduce the mysterious character Ephemera from Japan’s web based counterpart [Chi].

KHUx Development News #2

 

Thank you for always using [KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained x]!

To all of you who explore every nook and cranny of the contents of this game, we would like to introduce to you a new update related to medal growth.

 

-New “Power” Strength Bundle! (Starting sometime in the first ten days of December onward)

 

Along with the added content for continuing the main quest in December, a mystery item, “Strength Bundle,” will be obtainable.

Once you've got the Strength Bundle, you can open new strength for your medals--up to six stars.

By combining the same medals, you'll unlock the sixth level of ability strength for medal growth, and your abilities will drastically be strengthened.

*We suggest that you strength the abilities of your favorite medals.

 

-”Two Types of Medals” --Their true strength is unleashed! ( Starting sometime in the first ten days of December onward)

 

Hereafter, “Villains” and “Darkness” characters' “reversal medals” will be added in order.

“Keyblade Abilities” that draw out one's true power will be unleashed from the silver and gold “Upright Medals” that make up most of the current medals, as well as from the black “Reversal medals.”

 

-Now you can equip five six-star medals in your deck! (Starting 11/19 at 8pm)

 

Because of the deck cost limitations up to this point, you could create a deck mixed with six and five-star medals, but in preparation for the “Strength Bundle,” a new “Special Avatar Board” will be added to let you equip a deck of all six-star medals by expending jewels.

 

By obtaining jewels by logging in and completing the daily jewel challenges, you can dominate the “Special Avatar Board.”

In addition, we'd like to inform you that upcoming campaigns and events will make the “Cid” card, which lowers medal costs, easier to get.

Use these features to make an even stronger deck than before.

 

-Development of an accelerating story! (From the end of November onward)

 

In the latter half of November, we plan to add on to the main story as is necessary.

You'll get the concluding episode of Olympus Coliseum!

And who is the mysterious new character who appeared in Daybreak Town?

 

-A new quest added to help medal growth! (Starting 11/19 at 8pm)

 

In order to add six-star medals to your deck, even more synthesis medals are needed.

If you purchase the “1400 Jewel” bonus available once a week, in addition to the “Total Jewel 3000” bonus and the “All Daily Quests Open Until Sunday” bonus, a new special quest that allows you to obtain synthesis medals, sold medals, and progression medals all at once, as well as a new quest that allows you to get Cid every day, will be unlocked.

*Players who have already bought it this week will already have it unlocked.

Use these special quests to perfect your deck.

 

Please look forward to what's to come for [KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained x]!
