The years go by and, despite a few minor projects, the Kingdom Hearts license is missed by its fans. What if she came back in a way we didn’t expect?
Fans of Kingdom Hearts have unfailing patience! Since 2002, the license born from the collaboration between Square Enix and Disney has had more spin-offs than main games. But it is also by the wait that a community is capable of supporting that we measure its attachment to a work. And, in this case, we can say that this license is really dear to the hearts of players.
What’s more, Square tends to show its community that the license is far from forgotten. Three years ago, the hero of KH, Sora, joined the Super Smash Bros Ultimate roster. Then, the following year, players were finally able to discover the trailer for the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 4. Of course, two years later, it was dead calm. Unless something else is in preparation in the studios…
Rumor of a forgotten Kingdom Hearts project resurfaces
The famous Daniel Richtman, aka @DanielRPK on X | Twitter, strikes again. Renowned for his often proven statements about Marvel creations, he also has a privileged view on the productions Disney. However, on his Patreon, he revives an old rumor about a completely different kind of Kingdom Hearts spin-off.
A adaptation adventures of the Keyblade wielder would be in the works for Disney+. The first rumors about the project actually date back to 2020, evoking a “ series “. According to Daniel Richtman, this adaptation would still be on the table, but without certainty as to the form it would take, so that it could also be a feature film.
At the time, rumors pointed to an animated version in CGI. Given the nature of the Kingdom Hearts license, which mixes human characters, characters from the Disney galaxy, such as Donald or Goofy, and various creatures, it is very likely that if the project is to come to fruition, it will always be in this form .
Finally, remember that this is not the first time that Disney has considered adapting the license. In 2002, a traditional animated series was actually planned to be released following the first opus. However, the director Seth Kearsley revealed that this project was canceled after an unconvincing pilot episode. But, at a time when video game adaptations are popular, as evidenced by Arcane, The Last of Us or more recently Fallout, this new attempt, if it is indeed real, has every chance of seeing the light of day.
