Back in 2022, Square Enix unveiled the mobile game “Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link.” This side story was meant to bridge the gap between fans before the release of “Kingdom Hearts 4.” Initially slated for late 2024, the game faced a delay just before its launch. Back then, Square Enix hinted at more updates, and now we have them. Regrettably, anyone eagerly anticipating Sora’s adventures on their phone will be disappointed as Square Enix has officially scrapped “Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link.
As a dedicated gamer, I found it quite intriguing that this announcement dropped when it did, following the buzz about the grand scale of the upcoming mobile game. Truth be told, there were whispers about a potential 20 worlds in this game, but it seems like we, as players, won’t get to explore those rumored realms firsthand.
The news of its cancellation was officially confirmed through the Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link social media account earlier today, and the announcement has now taken center stage on their website. This is undeniably a significant shift for the project, and Square Enix has made sure to inform fans about it. Here’s the official statement they shared this morning:

An important announcement regarding KINGDOM HEARTS Missing-Link.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel disappointed that the delay in the release of our beloved Kingdom Hearts mobile game, which was expected last year, has turned out to be more than just a temporary setback for Square Enix. They’ve shared that they couldn’t guarantee delivering a service that would keep us engaged for an extended period, implying that perhaps there were live service aspects planned.
Upon closer inspection, it seems that the team at Square Enix found the concept they had been developing wasn’t sustainable in the long run and have decided to abandon the project. The statement also extends a heartfelt thank you to the beta testers who had the privilege of experiencing this mobile Kingdom Hearts entry, suggesting that this version may now be the only one ever played by fans.
Kingdom Hearts Cancelation Doesn’t Mean No Kingdom Hearts 4
It’s reassuring to know that the cancellation of “Missing Link” won’t mark the demise of the “Kingdom Hearts” series. To alleviate fan concerns, Square Enix has assured us in their statement that “The ‘Kingdom Hearts’ series will carry on.” They are still diligently working on “Kingdom Hearts 4,” and they invite fans to anticipate future announcements about the game.
Although Kingdom Hearts 4’s official launch date remains undecided, the abandonment of an auxiliary project might actually be a hidden advantage. If this additional project was canceled and Square Enix can now concentrate entirely on Kingdom Hearts 4, it could potentially speed up its release. It’s not clear if this factor played any role in Square Enix’s decision to cancel Missing Link, but the possibility of faster game delivery seems plausible as a result.
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got some news to share that might not be what we were hoping for. Contrary to initial expectations, it appears we won’t be getting the mobile game as previously announced. However, let me reassure you, Kingdom Hearts 4 is still very much in development. Fingers crossed, we’ll get more updates on this highly-anticipated sequel soon, so we can join Sora and his comrades on their next grand adventure!
