PC gamers, rejoice. If you’ve been longing to play Square Enix’s weird game bringing together the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney you finally can. Square Enix announced on Thursday that the Kingdom Hearts series is finally coming to PC courtesy of Epic Games Store. It will be a whole new way to experience the twisting but fun world that has only been available on consoles until now. And the titles will be available from Epic Games on March 30. That’s so soon!
If you’re only somewhat familiar with Kingdom Hearts, which debuted in 2002, the above announcement trailer will give you a peek at the world. It’s both incredibly complex and straightforward. Most of the games follow Sora, a youth who has a Keyblade to fight the Heartless. Those cruel creatures come from the Realm of Darkness and a villain is sending the darkness to consume worlds. Sora fights back with the help of Donald Duck and Goofy, emissaries from King Mickey. They travel to various worlds inspired by Disney films. A lot of weird stuff happens in between. Like, a lot.
