Major Kingdom Hearts Game Delisted Without Warning

Major Kingdom Hearts Game Delisted Without Warning

As a long-time fanatic of the Kingdom Hearts series, I can’t help but feel a mix of bewilderment and dismay upon hearing about the sudden disappearance of Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross] Dark Road from digital storefronts. With over a decade of dedication to this enchanting franchise, I’ve grown accustomed to its intricate lore and complex narrative, and this latest development has left me scratching my head more than Sora ever did during a Heartless ambush.


I was quite taken aback when Square Enix decided to remove Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross] Dark Road from their digital platforms. This mobile game holds immense significance for the franchise’s lore and narrative, being one of the key entries in the series

Over the last seven days, Square Enix took down the mobile game “Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road” from app stores for both iOS and Android devices. This sudden removal caught Kingdom Hearts fans off guard as Square Enix didn’t issue any warning beforehand, leading to widespread confusion. A week has passed since the game was delisted, but Square Enix hasn’t given an official explanation or provided more insight into why it vanished from the stores

It’s surprising that Kingdom Hearts Union X [Cross] Dark Road, which once needed an internet connection to play, has been taken down. Originally a live-service game, Square Enix made it available offline a few years ago so fans could continue enjoying its storyline without the need for an online connection. Therefore, its removal seems unnecessary given these circumstances

As a dedicated fan, I’d express it like this: In the grand tapestry of the Kingdom Hearts series, the game Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross] Dark Road unfurls as a prequel to all other titles. Kingdom Hearts χ[Cross] is the very first chronological installment, paving the way for Kingdom Hearts Union, which could be considered a sequel of sorts to the former. Dark Road, on its own, delves into a captivating narrative revolving around Xehanort, a key antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts saga

As mentioned, this situation with Kingdom Hearts Union ch Dark Road could have major ramifications on Kingdom Hearts 4 as well. Introduced in Kingdom Hearts Union ch, Strelitzia is a character that appeared in the initial teaser for KH4. With her own game having now been wiped out, it could make it more difficult for Kingdom Hearts fans to catch up in advance of Kingdom Hearts 4 being released. Then again, perhaps Square Enix deleted Kingdom Hearts Union ch Dark Road to pave the way for a new version of the game that will arrive soon.
