Disney and Square Enix have launched a freeĀ Kingdom Hearts experience on the PlayStation VR.
The aptly-titledĀ Kingdom Hearts VR ExperienceĀ was originally slated to come out late last year but was delayed until January and only ended up launching in Japan.
Kingdom Hearts VRĀ will let players “relive some of their favourite memories” from the beloved action-RPG franchise through an “interactive video,” according to Square Enix. As they progress, players will be able to hearĀ classic series songs from acclaimed composer Yoko ShimomuraĀ while unlocking new content. Based on previously released footage, players can expect to see popular characters like Donald, Goofy and Riku.
The whole experience is rather short, coming in at about 10 minutes. However, Square Enix says additional free content will be added through future updates, including scenes in the tranquil, sunset-covered Twilight Town.
It’s worth noting that this is the second freeĀ Kingdom Hearts-related PlayStation VR experience to release this year in the west. In January, Japanese-American singer Hikaru Utada releasedĀ āHikaru Utada Laughter in the Dark Tour 2018 ā āHikariā & āChikaiā ā VR,” a free experience which let PS VR owners “attend” one of her pre-recorded concert performances.
In the experience, viewers were able to watch Utada perform “Simple and Clean” (the theme song to the firstĀ Kingdom Hearts) and “Don’t Think Twice” (ending theme song toĀ Kingdom Hearts 3) in VR.
