'Classic Kingdom' Mini-Game from KH3 Coming to 'Union X [Cross]' with Version 3.0.0

Meilin Lee · Sep 5, 2018

As hinted in recent interviews with Tetsuya Nomura, it has finally been confirmed that 'Classic Kingdom', the mini-game that has been teased for 'Kingdom Hearts III', will finally be making its appearance in 'Kingdom Hearts Union X [Cross]' with the release of version 3.0.0 to commemorate the game's third anniversary. This update will be available in Japan on September 6th (no word on when the international version will be released).

In addition to the arrival of the 'Classic Kingdom' mini-game, it has also been revealed that for a limited time, those who complete a certain high score with the mini-game in 'Union X [Cross]' will receive the Starlight Keyblade from the mobile game in 'Kingdom Hearts III'!

Lastly, to commemorate this news, Tetsuya Nomura himself left a message for fans which you can check out below (rough translation / will provide a better translation once available):

KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross] Thank you for your third anniversary.

It is Nomura for the first time in a while. Although it may not have been so long since recently.
Well, it has not been three years since "Union χ", but it seems to be counted from "Unchained χ" in terms of operation.
If that is the case from "χ [chi]", it has been more than five years already, but it does not seem to count.
That's why it's the third anniversary of something funny, but this time it seems to be a different celebration.

Although the development of "KINGDOM HEARTS III" also remains a little bit behind, the mini game "CLASSIC KINGDOM" in "KINGDOM HEARTS III" precedes it and precedes it "System to become like to play" with "Union χ" It is finally implemented.
As long as it is "a system to be able to play", it is named "χ 3".
It's short but it is hard to understand how to pronounce it.
I read "EXTRESS".
Not only "CLASSIC KINGDOM" but "KINGDOM HEARTS III" in this "χ 3" is a menu design imitated by Sora, new content such as communication tools will be prepared.
For details about this area, please also refer to announcement from operation.

I have kept you waiting so long, but the main scenario will be updated next month.
Actually, the scenario event part of "Union χ", including myself, is also part of the staff of "KINGDOM HEARTS III" and I am sorry that I can not update it very much, but it is finally over.
I think that this time it is a story to which the core of the story will be visible.
And next time the main scenario will be updated, there will be new characters there too.
The connection between that character and that character will be revealed ...
I think that it will become more interesting development.

Also, until now, it had contents to go over the existing Disney World, but it will be expanded to the new world at last.
Along with that, we are preparing the mysteries and new developments in the world of "Union χ", so please continue to enjoy "KINGDOM HEARTS Union χ [Cross]".

With thanks to everyone, we
will distribute celebration stones, not apologies , caught on "KH 3" and "3rd anniversary" .
Well then, somewhere soon.

UPDATE 9/5: The Starlight promotion has been confirmed for the global version of the game in a Square Enix Twitch stream today! No date has been given, but it will be coming west soon! Players simply need to achieve a high score threshold to obtain the Keyblade; it isn't a competition like other events in the game.

I've been psyched about the Classic Kingdom minigames coming to KHUX since the announcement at the Dandelion Meeting, and now it's even sweeter with the promise of Starlight making the jump to KHIII through it! Not just because I'm a sucker for KHUX and want to see it integrated into the rest of the series, but also because Starlight is just such a nice-looking Keyblade. I kinda miss its basic form in KHUX. ~~now i just have to get an xb1 or a ps4 and khiii~~

The big question though; will there be a way for those without KHUX to be able to get the Starlight Keyblade? This could actually be the first signs of DLC for KHIII.

Also, still waiting for actual new Disney worlds in KHUX, Nomura.

I'm pretty sure the point of the promotion is that it's a special gift for KHUX players. As far as Disney worlds, I believe there's a brand-new world coming in this week's story update for Japan.

A Square Enix stream just confirmed that the Starlight promotion will be coming to the global version of the game! More info has been added to the OP.

The global app got updated on Friday to include this. So that went live much sooner than I expected.

I suck at these games though. Not sure if it's the games themselves or my ongoing dislike of controllers on touchscreens.
