Announced in 2022 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:alongside KH4, Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link was touted to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fill the long gaps between mainline e🉐ntries. Fans were excited to get a new entry in the series, even though it was a live-service mobile game, but it seems even those hopes have been dashed now, as the dev team has announced that it won't be able to put out enough content for the game over a long period of time, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:even after two closed betas.

Square Enix Cancels Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link

"We have made the decision to cancel the development of Kingdom Hearts🌸 Missing-Link," said a post on the game'🔯s Twitter account. "We wish to convey our heartfelt apologies to everyone who has been looking forward to the start of service.

"Although we worked hard on developing and adjusting the game in the hope that it would be enjoyed by lots of players, we determined that it would be difficult for us to offer a service th꧋at players would find satisfactory over a long p♓eriod of time, leading us to the decision to cancel development."

It seems that despite putting out two closed beta tests, the developers felt that they would not be able to keep up the momentum in t𒉰he long run. This comes as part of a series of live-action game cancellations in the industry. While this was the official reason given for the cancellation, the real reason could be the lack of confidence in the live-service model.

While fans are disappointed, not many of them are surprised at the decision. "I’d rather they cancel a project they know isn’t working then release a𝓀 bad product," said . At least they were honest that the game just wasn’t coming together."

"Sad, but I can't say I'm surprised," saidꦿ another. "Gachas live and die on their advertisement, especially at the start, and I didn't hear a peep since closed beta-testing. Must have bee💧n on the chopping block for a good while now."
