Square Enix has scrapped its mobile ARPG spin-off, Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link. Following multiple delays, including a postponed Android closed beta, the company has decided to halt development and redirect resources to Kingdom Hearts IV.
Positioned in an unexplored era of the Kingdom Hearts universe, Missing-Link combined GPS-based mechanics with ARPG combat. Players were set to brandish iconic keyblades to battle swarms of Heartless threatening the world.
The GPS integration was a major highlight for Missing-Link, though its functionality remained ambiguous. It appeared players could virtually visit global locations, but uncertainties around this feature may have sparked internal concerns.
Another mobile misstep
Square Enix’s habit of canceling mobile titles has become a running joke. Despite a critically praised catalog, their dense portfolio often struggles to connect globally.
In Japan, new mobile releases are embraced, but capturing an international audience is challenging. This likely wasn’t an issue for Kingdom Hearts, suggesting the core concept proved difficult to execute, prompting a pivot to the mainline series.
