Disney has officially greenlit an original anime series based on Kingdom Hearts video game franchise for Disney+. It was announced during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the upcoming project is being developed in direct partnership with franchise creator Tetsuya Nomura and the creative team at Square Enix.
Rather than a standard retelling of the existing games, the anime will feature a brand-new storyline that will expand the Kingdom Hearts lore. Fans can still expect the return of the iconic characters from Disney and its worlds.
For gaming enthusiasts and anime fans, bringing the game into a dedicated animated format is a major milestone for the franchise.
