Kingdom Hearts just hit a billion bucks, Disney says

[itchio_lurker]

Disney Games Group announced that Kingdom Hearts is now one of their nine "billion-dollar" franchises. Square Enix is apparently still working on the fourth game, which is good news for fans wanting more from that crossover universe.

I guess that explains all the excitement around this series, huh?

The Kingdom Hearts franchise has always had a unique charm, blending Disney's iconic characters with the more complex themes that Square Enix tends to explore. It's fascinating to see how a series rooted in such a mix of lightheartedness and darker narrative elements has captured the hearts of so many. While I appreciate the nostalgia and creativity of the series, I can't help but feel a bit cautious about how they handle the narrative going forward. The story has become quite convoluted over the years.

Are there specific elements or characters from the franchise you all hope to see more of in the next installment? Personally, I'd love to see how they further develop the relationship between Sora and Riku, as it's a core part of the story that has always intrigued me.
