Leaked Kingdom Hearts Missing‑Link intro surfaces online

gamingJul 21, 202626449

The cancelled Kingdom Hearts Missing Link resurfaced after nearly finished intro footage leaked online, and the clip's wild sci-fi tone set off intense close readings. Viewers zeroed in on the keyblade-wielding umbranauts in exo suits, a fight that ends with four suited keybearers remaining, and commenters traced those beats back to series touchstones like Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Mickey. One post claimed the leaked footage confirms a character suspected to be Sigurd, which has people mapping Missing Link scenes onto Kingdom Hearts 4 and the Quadratum lore thread. Many expressed grief that this sequence belonged to a cancelled project and urged Square Enix to reuse the cinematic material in future entries.

I really wish Nomura didn't have to deal with engine issues for a single generation because having to wait so long for this kinda stuff is rough.

This is why KH4 is taking so long in my opinion, the concepts in Missing Link were about to be integral for KH4’s story and when missing link was canceled they had to figure out how to convey that information in KH4 instead. What the f**k is this Nomura.

Early working theory: The guys at the start are a modern-day extermination unit that are dispatched throughout Quadratum to deal with Heartless anomalies. They literally Dive to Heart into these contained Heartless spaces by the looks of it? So maybe Sora didn't bring Darkness to Quadratum?

Nomura's been hanging out with Kojima I think...

The Kingdom Hearts Missing Link intro was leaked and this is just another absolutely insane tonal shift from Nomura. I promise whatever you think this is going to be when you click on it, it's not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xe4...

I can't believe Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link got canned so that it actually became a missing link. Are we sure it was even real. Did Nomura do this on purpose.

They warp in through a portal that opens the way the magic kingdom Disney logo begins. It's kind of amazing.

"Imagine if KH4 just has the entire plot of Missing Link as the intro like Roxas in KH2/Olympus in KH3" Sorry nothing can match the aura of KH3 going fucking 'KINGDOM HEARTS II.9'

the thing about late kingdom hearts is you don't need summaries or explanations because the characters are already speaking like wikia editors

Seeing leaked footage for the missing link intro has brought back all of the feelings I had when they cancelled this game. I'm still upset. They should've released this game even if they were going to lose money by doing so. Cause wtf 😡😡 youtu.be/2Xe45Vo3x20?...
