What is Kingdom Hearts?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about a video game concept that might seem like the stuff of fan fiction, but nevertheless became a reality. Kingdom Hearts was first released on the PS2 twenty years ago and it’s a meeting of two universes that really have nothing to do with each other: Disney animations and Final Fantasy, Japan’s best known RPG franchise. The series has been making headlines of late too, with the release of the Integram Masterpiece for Cloud bundle on Nintendo Switch. OK, it’s not the catchiest of names, but it’s actually a collection of almost the entirety of the saga’s previous titles.

How did such an unlikely project come to be? What makes the saga so special? What is the future of Kingdom Hearts? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
