It was announced on Thursday by Square Enix that they are currently working on a new “experience” for the popular Kingdom Hearts franchise. This time, it’s not for the consoles but for smartphones. The project is temporarily titled as “Project Xehanort”, with a tagline that says, “Why did he become the seeker of darkness?”
The said smartphone project is slated to be released on iOS, Android, and Amazon.
In relation to this, a new Twitter account with the “Kingdom Hearts OOO OOO” was officially made on Thursday.
