Kingdom Hearts: Uprising (video game)



'''NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY UNLESS SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY CONFIRMED. THIS IS A FAN-MADE IDEA FOR AN INSTALLMENT IN THE KINGDOM HEARTS FRANCHISE. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING!'''

Kingdom Hearts: Uprising is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Square Enix for the Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC and Stadia. It is an installment in the Foretellers Saga in the Kingdom Hearts series.

Premise
Set sometime after the events of Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, the player takes command of Liam, an American citizen living in Shibuya who is caught in the middle of a war between the local government and a group of mercenaries taking control of the Heartless and a new group of enemies - the Infected - humans who have mutated after merging with various Heartless. Wanting to make sure that his home stays safe, Liam starts fighting for everything he cares about - while learning that there is a more pressing matter concerning worlds that he never knew were possible to exist.

Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to that of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III, while adding some new elements that take inspiration from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Besides the original combat style that combines action with RPG elements, a hack and slash combat style is also available for the player.

Unlike Kingdom Hearts III, Attraction Flow commands are removed (mainly due to the problem it imposed to fans in said game's combat system), and both limit and reaction commands return with modifications.

Players can also customize Liam's appearance. The game will not feature micro-transactions, and players can unlock outfits by playing the game (much like Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time) as well as gaining them through trophies and post-game content (such as secret bosses and much more).

The level system, which is in every game of the series, does not have a cap. Therefore, players can go over Level 99 - whether it be getting EXP by doing additional quests, or just grinding with special combo moves. Said quests, which will be on the side, will still be part of the campaign.

The Mirage Arena makes a return in Uprising, with some modifications. Unlike the location of said arena in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, this one will be located in Shibuya. (More information about this TBA!)
