The Kingdom Hearts Missing Link closed beta started on November 29, 2023, and we’ve started to hear about battery life drain. Aitai Kuji CEO Audrey Lamsam stated an example of what the early build did to her battery online.
Here’s Lamsam’s impression from the first day of the closed beta. Note that this is based on an early, in-progress build. Part of the purpose of said tests is to obtain information on performance, and the state of the game will likely change between now and the final build.
As a reminder, Kingdom Hearts Missing Link is an augmented reality game like Pokemon GO, which means the nature of it running on the system can affect the battery life and drain it at an increased pace. This is due to the geolocation element tapping into a person’s real-world location as they move around to complete objectives in the virtual world.
As a reminder, only the iOS Kingdom Hearts Missing Link closed beta test is running at the moment. That will continue until December 8, 2023. The Android one is also on the way. However, that won’t start until an as-yet-unspecified date in January 2024. Only about 3,000 people are being picked to play, with 1,500 participants on each platform.
Kingdom Hearts Missing Link will launch for Android and Apple iOS devices in 2024.
