End of Service Announcement (Feb. 24) [Updated May 14]

[Updated May 14, 2021 10:00 a.m. (PT)]
While we originally announced the end date as May 30, 2021, due to us needing to split the final episode of KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ into 2 parts, we will be extending end date to Jun. 29, 2021.

Please stay tuned for more details on when the main story will become available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding. A short time remains before the end of service, but we hope you continue to enjoy KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ Dark Road until then.
