Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link Cancelled and Square Enix breaks silence on Kingdom Hearts 4

Square Enix confirms that the anticipated mobile game “Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link” development has been cancelled.

This is what they wrote in a recent announcement by the game’s official account on Twitter / X:

We have made the decision to cancel the development of KINGDOM HEARTS Missing-Link.

We wish to convey our heartfelt apologies to everyone who has been looking forward to the start of service.

Although we worked hard on developing and adjusting the game in the hope that it would be enjoyed by lots of players, we determined that it would be difficult for us to offer a service that players would find satisfactory over a long period of time, leading us to the decision to cancel development.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to everyone who gave us their support and assistance with the multiple closed beta tests. We are truly sorry to have to make this announcement.

The KINGDOM HEARTS series will continue. We are hard at work on KINGDOM HEARTS IV, and hope you’ll continue to support the series as you keep an eye out for further updates.

This announcement comes after a long delay in the game’s release, which was supposed to officially release to the public in 2024.

Still hard at work on Kingdom Hearts 4

In the same announcement, Square Enix confirms that they’re still hard at work developing the next mainline entry to the series, the long-awaited “KINGDOM HEARTS IV” which they have also been relatively silent on since the official trailer and announcement more than 3 years ago.
