Kingdom Hearts “Project Xehanort” Announced for Mobile Platforms

The iOS and Android title will focus on why Xehanort became the seeker of darkness.

The Dark Seeker story of Kingdom Hearts may have been wrapped with Kingdom Hearts 3 but there are more experiences to come. After director Tetsuya Nomura teased new game coming soon, Square Enix has announced “Project Xehanort“. It’s coming to iOS and Android in Spring.

This, of course, not the final name. A Twitter campaign is currently underway for fans to “Guess the Name” of the project. Simply head here for the rules – the campaign will end on January 28th at 6:59 PM PT. Ten participants who have the closest guesses will win some “big” prizes.

The announcement of the project comes at a pretty good time. Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind is out now for PS4 and judging by the Secret Episode’s ending, it’s reigniting a lot of interest in the title. We’ll have to wait and see how Project Xehanort plays on mobiles and whether it will be a one-and-done full-priced title or an ongoing title. Stay tuned for more details.
