'Kingdom Hearts III' (ALL) Free Update Adds Critical Mode, New Combat Abilities and More

A mature Sora sets out on a new adventure, as Kingdom Hearts III makes full use of next-generation console technologies to deliver more exhilarating, action-packed gameplay and various fun features.

As a culmination of the series so far, Kingdom Hearts III is shaping up to be an entertainment experience with a grand story of unparalleled scale.

A key trait of Kingdom Hearts is the universe packed full of worlds based on Disney properties. Look forward to things getting spiced up for this new entry, with gameplay that can only be experienced in Kingdom Hearts!

Kingdom Hearts III will features a variety of worlds/stages based on franchises such as Tangled, Rapunzel, Hercules, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, and Big Hero 6.

Kingdom Hearts III continues to expand with a brand new update today. In this update, players can embark on–or relive–the adventure of a lifetime with Sora and friends in the all-new Critical Mode, an additional high-difficulty mode that will challenge players in their fight against the darkness.

Critical Mode will challenge even the most skilled Keyblade wielder to be more tactical as they battle formidable foes. In this new mode:

  • Maximum HP and MP are halved
  • The frequency of situation commands and magic is lowered
  • Sora can perform new abilities exclusive to this harder difficulty mode

Additionally, this update adds the feature for players to carry over their Keyblades to a new game. Keyblades that are carried over will return to their default strength, but through this optional feature, players can utilize Keyblades otherwise not obtained until later in the game from the beginning.

During their epic adventure, Sora and his companions join forces with Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan, with a special appearance by Boo. Fright team all-stars Mike and Sulley lend their scaring talents and special combination attacks against their enemies.

Having learned that all the conflicts surrounding "Kingdom Hearts" were a part of Master Xehanort's master plan to cause a Keyblade War, Sora and his friends search for the seven guardians of light to combat the darkness.

While King Mickey and Riku set off in search of previous Keyblade wielders, Sora, Donald and Goofy visit various Disney worlds in search of the "Key to Return Hearts."

Kingdom Hearts III is currently available for Xbox One and PS4.
