Oh, the humanity! 😭 Square Enix, in their infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), has decided to DELETE 🗑️ another game from existence! Yes, folks, Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link, that mobile game nobody *really* understood or asked for, has been unceremoniously yeeted into the digital abyss. Prepare for a symphony of sadness… or maybe just a collective shrug. 🤷
Remember that 20th-anniversary event? 🎉 The one where they teased Kingdom Hearts IV and then threw this “Missing Link” thing at us like a digital consolation prize? Yeah, well, turns out it was more like a digital participation trophy destined for the trash bin. 🗑️ They even had beta tests! Beta tests, I tell you! As if a few brave souls poking at a broken game would somehow magically transform it into a masterpiece. Bless their hearts. ❤️
And the official statement? Oh, it’s a classic! “We have made the decision to cancel the development of Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link.” Groundbreaking! 🤯 You don’t say? And then, the pièce de résistance: “We wish to convey our heartfelt apologies to everyone who has been looking forward to the start of service.” Heartfelt? Really? I’m pretty sure most of us were too busy trying to figure out the plot of the main games to even notice this existed. 😴
But wait, there’s more! They claim it would be “difficult” to maintain a “satisfactory experience” over the long term. Translation: “We realized this was a terrible idea and we’re cutting our losses before it bleeds us dry.” 💸 Smart move, Square Enix. Smart move. Now, about those microtransactions you were planning… 🤔
Fear not, dear fans! (Do those even exist anymore?) The Kingdom Hearts saga will continue! They’re “hard at work on Kingdom Hearts IV.” Which, let’s be honest, could be anything at this point. Maybe Sora will team up with Mickey Mouse to fight climate change? 🌍 Who knows! Square Enix’s creativity knows no bounds… or maybe it’s just completely lost. 🤷♂️
But wait, the plot thickens! (Like the lore in Kingdom Hearts, amirite? 😉) Apparently, this isn’t the first time Square Enix has pulled the plug on a mobile game. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is also getting the axe. Maybe they should just stick to console games? Or, you know, maybe hire some competent game designers? Just a thought. 🤔
So, what does this all mean? Absolutely nothing! 🥳 We’re still waiting for Kingdom Hearts IV, which will probably be delayed another five years anyway. In the meantime, we can all mourn the loss of Missing Link… or, you know, just go replay Kingdom Hearts II for the millionth time. Your choice. 🎮
