We could still be a ways off from playing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingdom Hearts 4, but fans are already concerned about where its story will end up following the release of Disney's latest animated film.

Last week marked the release of Disney's 62nd movie, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wish, which was devel✅oped as part of the company's 100th-year anniversary celebrations. So far, the film has received a mixed response, but the biggest takeaway is that it might be setting up a Disney multiverse. 

), and suggests that all of the Disney universes are connected in some way.

This has set off alarm bells for Kingdom Hearts fans since the entire concept of the series follows Sora, a🌸nd his pals Donald and Goofy, as they set off on adventures to various Disney-themed worlds - which exist mostly separately from each other. One of the biggest rules the𓆉 trio has to follow is not to mess with the world order in the places they're visiting, meaning residents can't know that a world exists beyond their own. 

After one viewer shared some of Wish's♛ plot online, several fans began to question what this would mean for Kingdom Hearts' future timeline. As if it wasn't already intricate enough. "BUT HOW WILL THIS AFFECT KINGDOM HEARTS?" One player asked on . "How is Wish going to work within the Kingdom Hearts universe?" another has .

Other responses featu📖re jokes about how Kingdom Hearts' director (who is seen as the mastermind of the game's complex narrative), Tetsuya Nomura, would react to watching Wish for the first time - which has been the highlight of this whole discussion. 

I don't think we need to panic about the future of the Kingdom Hearts timeline yet, mostly because the references in Wish really are little more than nods to the company's history. In an interview with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film, Wish's co-writer and head of Disney Animation, Jennifer Lee, commented on the multiverse theories𝔉, revealing: "With the Easter eggs to me it was more about, not even like a multi-universe, but more abo♒ut what we all share."

More importantly, if Tetsuya Nomura really wanted to incorporate Wish into the Kingdom Hearts storyline, he would most definitely find a way. We just might all get headaches from t🍸rying to understand it ourselves.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where Iဣ helped to release a number of indie titlඣes. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
