gadgetnewsonline’ take
It’s awesome to see games becoming more and more cross-platform as time goes on. Originally, Kingdom Hearts launched as a PlayStation title, but eventually Square Enix released it on Xbox and even Nintendo Switch. This latest announcement shows that game developers are realizing just how valuable each and every platform is, and how keeping things locked to a single marketplace (or even in the realm of console only or PC only) can block players from enjoying their favorite titles that they grew up with. Will you be diving into the Kingdom Hearts saga next month? I’m considering it, as I’ve been in the market for new story-driven games. Sound off below in the comments or over on Twitter @pcamp96.
