Kingdom Hearts 4 is long overdue. While the mobile game that was supposed to keep us waiting is slow to reveal its news, Disney is giving fans of the license a thumbs up with this new free game that finally hits its release date.
Kingdom Hearts fans are slowly losing patience. While several games have suddenly been removed from stores, the next installment should not make the long-awaited appearance at TGS 2024. On paper, only one title could help them wait: KH Missing Link. A mobile production that the community has been particularly waiting for, aware of Nomura’s penchant for revealing important elements of the story in games for smartphones. For now, only Japanese players have been able to approach him briefly, leaving Europeans in the lurch. Finally, perhaps Disney could fill this gap with a new RPG that puts good old King Mickey and his friends at the center.
A free game to wait for Kingdom Hearts 4 is coming very soon
Since its announcement this summer, the Disney Pixel RPG has caught the attention of more than one fan of the license. It must be said that the initial premise is enough to appeal to Kingdom Hearts lovers. Mickey, Donald and his gang in an RPG? Previously isolated worlds suddenly connected after a mysterious event? Putting it like that, it’s impossible not to think of the legendary Square Enix saga. However, the two games will be very different. If only because not only Goofy and his two friends will be able to travel, but all the characters from the Disney universes. Ariel, Peter Pan, Baymax, Stitch, Nick from Zootopia and other heroes and villains will take up arms to eradicate malware that invades their worlds.
On the other hand, this time there will be no action, it will only be turn-based, with gatcha mechanics that a mobile game requires and a nice pixel face. If the business model is as cute as its artistic direction, then Disney Pixel RPG could be the perfect game to pass the time before Kingdom Hearts 4. We won’t have to wait long to find out, since the developers have finally announced the release date. The date is October 7 for iOS and Android. Don’t be jealous, this is happening absolutely everywhere, even in France, where the title will be fully translated. It smells a little like cardboard, because 600,000 players have already pre-registered so as not to miss the launch of this free-to-play game.
A turn-based role-playing game
For the record, Disney Pixel RPG will therefore offer turn-based combat that aims to be fun, quick and easy, with an automatic combat function for those in a hurry. It will be possible to create your team with all the recruited characters, heroes and villains, including the dear Maleficent. Disney is undoubtedly aware of the appeal of this free game for Kingdom Hearts fans and also promises a more strategic dimension reserved for the most experienced players. What exactly? See you in a few days to find out.
