Kingdom Hearts: The Series Is The "First Step" In A New Direction
It’s looking more and more like Kingdom Hearts: The Series is what Nomura was referring to all the way back in 2023.
Hearts
Released Aug 24, 2008
Playtime ~1h
Rated Everyone
Hearts is a strategy card game released in 2008 for iOS, Android, and macOS. The game has maintained a steady presence as a digital adaptation of the classic trick-taking card game.
Recent coverage mentions of Hearts have been sparse and largely incidental, appearing mostly in headlines about other games and media featuring "hearts" in their titles or themes - including Kingdom Hearts collection updates, Mabinogi's Arcana expansion, and various gaming peripherals. The most substantive gaming news in the coverage sphere involves Kingdom Hearts franchise developments, such as Square Enix's statement regarding disputed AI art allegations on Kingdom Hearts Collection box art and speculation among fans about character lore. Meanwhile, other card and strategy games have received more direct attention, with Mabinogi's Martial Hearts update introducing new Arcana classes for players.
