Kingdom Hearts Is Reportedly Getting A Movie

The Kingdom Hearts series has jumped between consoles, handhelds, phones, and PCs, and if new rumors are to be believed, it’ll also be making the jump to the big screen. These rumors kicked off after film and TV insider DanielRPK stated that Disney was looking to make either a TV or film adaptation of the beloved Square Enix series. That information was then corroborated by Skyler Schuler, founder of TheDisInsider who says that idea has evolved with Disney looking to make a full-on Kingdom Hearts movie.

Revisiting Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories In 2024

Kingdom Hearts is a special series to me. Not only has it played a key role in molding me into the person I am today, but it’s also been a constant source of comfort for me throughout my life. With that in mind, I decided to go back to six key games from the franchise, some of which I haven’t played in a long time, in a series I call Revisiting Kingdom Hearts to see what I think of them in the year 2024. Have my feelings changed about each game over the years? Am I able to take away anything new from them that I didn’t before? How does any one game compare to the rest of the series? These are the kinds of questions I’ll be asking myself as I work my way through the franchise. In part two of this series, I’ll be focusing on arguably the most divisive game in the franchise, Chain of Memories, and the great amount of respect that I have for it.

Personal Connections: Sora

When it comes to any art form that tells a story, one of the most important pieces to get right are the characters. They’re who we get attached to and want to spend more time with as the story progresses. The best characters are the ones that impact us and leave a mark on our memories and our hearts. These are the ones that we deeply cherish and hold in high regard. There are a number of characters across different forms of media that have impacted me for a multitude of reasons. The one who stands above all others and has had by far the most impact and influence on me as a person is none other than Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Gets An Awesome New Trailer

By: Tyler Miller

Early this morning, Square Enix released a brand new trailer for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (that’s a mouthful), and it is amazing. There’s lots of new footage here showcasing combat as Aqua in 0.2 – A fragmentary Passage and a fair amount of story cutscenes from Back Cover. There’s also some Dream Drop Distance in there as well, but it’s nowhere near as exciting as the other two games. The best part? Confirmation of a worldwide release this December! Unfortunately it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any Kingdom Hearts 3 news until this winter, but hopefully the team at Square Enix surprises us next week and has a trailer of sorts to show off.

Five Of My Favorite Video Game Endings

By: Tyler Miller

When it comes to the end of a game, it’s very easy to decide if its ending is great or if it’s simply okay. But what is it that causes us to decide what it is that makes the end of a game great? For me at least, there are a couple of aspects that come into play when deciding if the end of a game is great: the music, emotion, and the finality of it all.
