Square Enix announced on social media that the Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link Android Closed Beta Test will be delayed until Spring 2024. The test was initially planned to begin sometime in January 2024.
The Closed Beta Test was postponed after the development team found that there needed to be further adjustments made to make the game fully compatible for a “wider range” of Android devices. Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link‘s beta test has been scheduled for Spring 2024 in order to be able to accommodate the need to make these adjustments.
Square Enix also revealed that the winners for the Closed Beta Test’s access will be announced at a later date alongside a detailed schedule for the test.
The Closed Beta Test for the iOS version of Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link took place from November 29, 2023 to December 8, 2023, allowing players from Australia and the United Kingdom to try out the game. Around 1,500 people were able to experience the game back in late 2023. Players were allowed to share video and photos of the game during the Closed Beta Test for the iOS, and are also allowed to share footage for the upcoming Android test.
Many players reported experiencing heavy batter drain while playing Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link on their devices and hoped that later versions of the game will improve on the battery usage. The game’s GPS function is likely the cause for the excessive battery drain.
The upcoming mobile game allows players to travel through the real world using a GPS mode in order to fight enemies on the world map, and also players can utilize a stationary mode that allows them to consume AP in order to commence battles. Players can also activate a hands-free mode while using the GPS function in order to have battles auto-play.
Kingdom Hearts Missing Link will launch for Android and Apple iOS devices in 2024.
