Square Enix cans Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link

by Hannah May 23,2025

Square Enix has officially announced the cancellation of their much-anticipated mobile spin-off, *Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link*. This decision comes after numerous delays, including the postponed Android closed beta test, signaling a shift in focus towards the eagerly awaited *Kingdom Hearts IV*.

*Missing-Link* was poised to explore an untold chapter within the expansive *Kingdom Hearts* universe, blending GPS technology with the series' signature action RPG combat. Players were set to engage in battles against the Heartless, wielding the iconic keyblades in a unique, location-based adventure. However, the specifics of how the GPS functionality would enhance gameplay remained somewhat ambiguous, possibly contributing to the project's challenges.

The cancellation of *Missing-Link* adds to the growing list of Square Enix's mobile projects that have faced similar fates, a trend that has become somewhat of a meme within the gaming community. Despite the critical acclaim that many of Square Enix's titles receive, the company's dense portfolio can make it challenging to capture a broad international audience. This difficulty may have played a role in the decision to abandon *Missing-Link* in favor of concentrating efforts on *Kingdom Hearts IV*.
