- A Message from the Director -

KHUχ One Year Anniversary Comment

Still only one year has passed, but I think it has been another packed one. In this one year we have caught up to the world of the forerunner KINGDOM HEARTSχ, which also reaches its end along with this milestone. However, we have prepared two new large developments for the future of the world of KINGDOM HEARTS Unchainedχ.

One of these is multiplayer, in which you can enjoy battling heartless and running around the field with your party members using the exact same comfortable controls as always. Being able to adventure with your friends easily on your smartphone is a matter that had been on my mind about for several years now. Needless to say, the fact that the development staff proposed this plan so early without me even saying anything about it had me whispering "we are connected" in my heart.

The other is a big development regarding the story. The start of season two is still some way off, but the events leading up to it will begin as main story. And, to go with that work on three new worlds has already begun. The third will be a new world starting from season two, and it will be a new Disney world that has not appeared in the KH series so far.

Moving away from KHUχ for a little, there was the 'Ventus' I drew for the KHχ 3rd anniversary card, and the 'Maleficent' that appeared in the KHχ Special Episode who left some deeply meaningful words. I hope these all clued you into the new developments that will be starting soon.

I plan to make the most of this comment space in the future, too, and by all means enjoy KINGDOM HEARTS Unchainedχ.
