The second closed beta test for Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link has revealed a brand new character called Nept, and fans already have a few theories about who he could be.
Kingdom Hearts Adaptation Reportedly In The Works At Disney
24.04.2024 - 13:05 / thegamer.com
A reliable movie and TV insider has claimed that an adaptation of Kingdom Hearts is currently in the works at Disney, although it's unclear which it is.
As we've talked about plenty over the past few months, it's been an incredibly dry season for Kingdom Hearts news, with the only exciting thing to talk about being the announcement (and delay) of a second closed beta test for Missing Link. Although it looks like we're going to be kept waiting to hear about Kingdom Hearts 4, there is at least some activity in the series.
That activity is probably going to come as a surprise to many, though. According to reliable movie and TV insider DanielRPK, Disney is currently working on some kind of adaptation of Kingdom Hearts, although it's currently unclear whether it's going to be a series for Disney Plus or an outright movie of some kind.
Yesterday, DanielRPK (who recently suggested that a sequel to Sonic Frontiers was in development, something that was then backed up by another insider) shared a post on their Patreon that reported that an adaptation of Kingdom Hearts is currently being worked on by Disney. They aren't sure if it's a series or a movie, but it does seem like something is being worked on.
Interestingly enough, this isn't actually the first time that we've heard about Disney making some kind of TV series or movie adaptation of Kingdom Hearts. All the way back in 2020, Vulcan Reporter's Emre Kaya suggested that a Kingdom Hearts series for Disney Plus was being developed and that Square Enix was asked to make a pilot using Unreal Engine.
The series was said to be CG animated and casting at the time of the rumour, so it's not clear if the direction was changed at some point or if this current rumour is about something else altogether. I'd place a bet on it being a CG animated adaptation, but one that has been tweaked and worked on in the four years since the rumour was first reported.
If Disney is really making a Kingdom Hearts movie or series, then it's just further proof that Seth Kearsley was ahead of the curve when he pitched a series many moons ago .
Over on ResetEra, one user suggested that this could be what Tetsuya Nomura was referring to when he said that the "direction" of Kingdom Hearts had been changed. We've not heard anything about the series since then, so it does seem possible that he was referring to some kind of adaptation being in development.

Game of Thrones reportedly has an MMO in the works, nearly a decade after the last one was cancelled
It’s been five years since Game of Thrones ended and a good while since we had a decent video game based on George RR Martin’s fantasy writings that aren’t Elden Ring lore. Yet it seems that Game of Thrones’ cultural cachet still has enough draw to inspire new games of its own. And not just an arguably underrated-if-also-not-particularly-great action-adventure RPG or fairly okay Telltale adventure game, either, but a whole honest-to-goodness Game of Thrones MMO currently in development, according to new rumours.
