Testers who were chosen to participate were reminded to keep most of the game’s content under wraps. However, the devs also talked about newgameplay details forKingdom Hearts: Missing Link. This includes the two ways players can move their characters in-game depending on their preference as well as an event schedule that they can look forward to playing through during the testing period.
According to the social media posts, players can choose between “GPS” or “Pad” movement when playing the game. Choosing GPS means players will have to physically walk around to get their character to move, much like the movement in Niantic’sPokemon GO, while the other method allows character mobility using a virtual pad in the game’s UI. The development team also shared a lineup of closed beta test events this January 2023 which includes area bosses and raid battles featuring recognizableKingdom Heartsmonsters and enemies.
Though there is no news about when theKingdom Hearts: Missing Linkwill be released, seeing more information about the mobile title is likely giving the fanbase a sense of how development is going. Hopefully the closed beta test goes well, and Square Enix will also give Western fans a chance to play test the upcoming video game.
