LOS ANGELES, April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The next
KINGDOM HEARTS chapter in the beloved series begins today as SQUARE
ENIX® and Disney launch KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ
(read as Unchained "Key"). This free-to-play app (with in-app
purchases) allows players to embark on a journey that will uncover
story elements from the highly anticipated KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8
Final Chapter Prologue and KINGDOM HEARTS III, as well
as the earliest parts of the series' epic history.
For the first time in the series, players can create their own
Keyblade wielder using the Avatar system. The detailed

costumes based on seasonal events, Disney themes and blockbuster
films, including outfits based on Judy
Hopps and Nick Wilde from the
Walt Disney Animation Studios' hit film, Zootopia.
"We wanted to thank all the KINGDOM HEARTS fans for patiently
waiting for the launch of KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ in
North America. We would love for
everyone to dive into the world of KINGDOM HEARTS not only through
this title, but through the upcoming titles, KINGDOM HEARTS HD
2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and KINGDOM HEARTS III," said
franchise director Tetsuya Nomura.
"As an origins story, there are many elements in the game that new
players can enjoy. The game can also be easily picked up and
played, so it would be great if fans new and old, take the
opportunity to play the game."
As players traverse the unique worlds of Disney, they will
collect, fuse and evolve hundreds of medals that contain the power
of Disney heroes and villains. Keyblades can also be discovered
across the iconic worlds and strengthened using items found
