The popular Kingdom Hearts video game will have a TV series adaptation. Square Enix and Disney Plus are reportedly working together to develop the adaptation.
For years, Kingdom Hearts has maintained its thrilling action-packed video games series. The game is included in different consoles such as the Playstation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PSP, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 3DS, and Mobile platforms.
Furthermore, Kingdom Hearts has also been converted into a manga series. Hence, its TV adaptation will likely produce more viewers.
What is Kingdom Hearts Game series
Kingdom Hearts is a game that blends both characters from Disney and Final Fantasy. The game features famous Disney movie settings in The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Moreover, Disney characters such as Simba, Beast, Jack Sparrow can offer their assistance to the gamer.
Since the early 2,000, Square Enix wanted to penetrate the western market. However, the game developer needed to include intellectual properties that Americans and Europeans are familiar with. Hence, Disney provided intellectual properties but with a condition. The condition was that their characters will not participate in the game’s combat.
In Kingdom Hearts, Micky Mouse became an inter-dimensional magical overlord. On the other hand, Goofy and Donald Duck became the sidekicks of Sora. Sora’s task is to defeat the evil forces. Initially, Sora seemingly left the world of Final Fantasy and entered the Magical world of Disney.
