The team apologized for the late announcement in regards to the game's development status, as they had been trying their best to make the original release date, which had been planned for Spring of this year. The tweet then goes on to say that another announcement will be coming early next month in June. What that will entail is uncertain at this time, but they ask that fans stay tuned until then.

Last week, Square Enix unveiled a new Kingdom Hearts game coming to mobile devices in Spring 2020. Under the temporary name of “Project Xehanort,” a special contest was held for fans to submit their guesses on what the true title for the game could be. Today, announced via Twitter Post, Square Enix revealed that the new game is titled Kingdom Hearts Dark Road, and that more information is set to be released mid-February. The official title for Project Xehanort is KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROADAdditional info will be released after mid-February.For the winners of our #KHNameContest, we will begin sending direct messages through this account soon. Thank you for your patience. #KHDR pic.twitter.com/gkwr2podgv— KINGDOM HEARTS DARK ROAD (@kh_dr_na) January 31, 2020 Not much else is yet known about this new installment to the Kingdom Hearts series, save for the fact it will focus heavily on Young Xehanort and explore the reasons why he became the seeker of darkness.

Following its initial launch back in 2019, Kingdom Hearts III returns with a post-release DLC that is packed with visual updates, difficult boss battles and a bunch of new and altered cutscenes that adds roughly five hours or more of additional content to the original game. While I had enjoyed Kingdom Hearts III and what it had offered in terms of gameplay, I felt that the story had fallen just short of expectations. However, Kingdom Hearts III: ReMind had just been announced by the time I had done my review, and I had hopes that the DLC would address some of the issues that I had with the original release. Now with ReMind finally in the hands of us PlayStation 4 players, it was finally time to see if those hopes for the story would be met. As a disclaimer, this review will be incredibly spoiler heavy for the ReMind DLC and Kingdom Hearts III. The Kingdom Hearts series is in a unique position in terms of in-game lore. Having introduced the concept of time travel in earlier titles, it not only opened the door to extremely complicated storytelling, but also left some wiggle room to have an in-lore story reset if needed.

Square Enix has revealed a brand new Kingdom Hearts title currently in development for iOS, Android and Amazon devices. Tentatively titled "Project Xehanort", the game will release in Spring 2020 with included in-app purchases. The company has yet to share any other details about the title except its tagline, which asks, "Why did he become the seeker of darkness?"

In a series of tweets on the Official Kingdom Hearts Twitter account, several new screenshots showcasing some of the upcoming new features set to release with ReMind were posted.
