That activity is probably going to come as a surprise to many, though. , Disney is currently working on some kind of adaptation of Kingdom Hearts, although it's currently unclear whether it's going to be a series for Disney Plus or an outright movie of some kind.

A Kingdom Hearts Adaptation Is Reportedly In The Works

Yesterday, DanielRPK (who recently suggested that a sequel to Sonic Frontiers was෴ in development, something that was then backed up by another insider) shared a post on their Patreon that reported that an adaptation of Kingdom Hearts is currently being worked on by Disney. They aren't sure if it's a series or a movie, but it does seem like something is being worked on.

Interestingly enough, this isn't actually the first time that we've heard about Disney making some kind of TV series or movie adaptation of Kingdom Hearts. All the way back in 2020, and that Square Enix was asked to make a pilot using Unreal Engine.

The series was said to be CG animated and casting at the time of the rumour, so it's not clear if the direction was changed at some point or if this current rumour is about something else altogether. I'd place a bet on it being a CG animated adaptation, but one that has been tweaked and worked on in the four years since the rumour was first reported.

If Disney is really making a Kingdom Hearts movie or series, then it's just further proof that 𝐆Seth Kearsley was ahead of the c✅urve when he pitched a series many moons ago.

, one user suggested that this could be what Tetsuya Nomura was referring to when he said thꦺat the "direction" of Kingdom Hearts had been changed. We've not heard anything about the series since then, so it does seem possible that he was referring to some kind of adaptation being in development.
