Square Enix is no stranger to rhythm spin-off games, having found success with their medley of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy games for the Nintendo 3DS. This decision made sense, given the many iconic tracks which have been prominently featured in the series since first releasing in 1987. However, while offering a handful of great tracks, many of those in Kingdom Hearts were passable recreations of iconic Disney themes or tunes inspired by them. Therefore in June, it came as a surprise that Square Enix and Disney will collaborating on a spin-off game titled Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.
Developed for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch platforms, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory has recently been confirmed to be launching on 13 November 2020. Boxed copies will be available for only the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, while Xbox One players will be required to purchase it via the Xbox Digital Marketplace.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is intended to feature 140 musical tracks along with 20 characters from the series. Players will travel through many Disney worlds in the shoes of Sora and iconic Disney characters, taking down waves of enemies to the beat of both Kingdom Hearts series music and classic Disney tunes. Both single-player and online-multiplayer modes will be available, allowing fans of the series to enjoy the music alone or along with others.
