Last year, Square Enix said Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X[chi] would be released in the west on Apple iOS and Android devices. The free-to-play RPG would allow people to create a Keyblade Wielder and fight various Heartless enemies and bosses in prior to the Keyblade War. Now, Square Enix has confirmed Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X will launch in North America on April 7, 2016.
Square Enix also asked Tetsuya Nomura seven questions about Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X, to help fans learn more about the game. Nomura notes that it ties into Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue by the hour long Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover, a story told by the Foretellers that gather Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X’s Keyblade Wielders. Nomura also mentions the five Foretellers, a guide cat named Chirithy, and Ephemera and Skuld are new characters that help tell a new story in familiar worlds. Nomura also mentioned that Chirithy is inspired by Scottish Fold cats, of which he owns two.
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X has been available for mobile devices in Japan since September 3, 2015.
