Gameplay will feature the return of reaction commands from Kingdom Hearts II, a new 'Scrap and Build' mechanic, and a focus on Sora's daily life.

New gameplay mechanics are hinted at, including the Form Change ability for the Keyblade, which suggests evolved combat strategies.

Originally revealed in 2022, Missing-Link aimed to offer an immersive gaming experience through GPS technology, allowing players to explore the real world virtually.

Loot boxes in Missing-Link were designed to contain character trophies from Disney properties, allowing for character upgrades and abilities.

Fans are speculating about potential future collaborations between Square Enix and Disney, especially in light of Disney's recent acquisitions.

The company is currently evaluating all projects at its domestic studios to ensure disciplined investment in development.

Despite the cancellation, Square Enix has a history of adapting mobile and browser game stories into animated content, suggesting elements from Missing-Link may still appear in future projects.

In an effort to improve profitability, Square Enix is expanding platforms, diversifying payment methods, and optimizing operating costs for its titles.

The company cited challenges in providing a satisfactory long-term service for players as a reason for the game's cancellation.

Upcoming projects include various adaptations and collaborations, such as a 'Final Fantasy x Magic The Gathering' project and a new animated movie.

Square Enix has announced the cancellation of its mobile action game, Missing-Link, while reassuring fans that the Kingdom Hearts series will continue with Kingdom Hearts IV currently in development.

In Kingdom Hearts IV, Quadratum will serve as the hub world for Sora and his allies, who will embark on missions to various other worlds.
