First announced on May 12, 2015, KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ tells a fairy-tale adaptation of the legendary Keyblade War that wrought the land long before Sora's adventure began. Players take the role of a fledgling Keyblade wielder placed in one of five Unions, and are tasked with collecting light and must fight to defeat the darkness that threatens the worlds.
Unchained χ was released in Japan on September 3, 2015, and though it was confirmed for the North American audience during E3 2015, there has been little to no word about this release since then. Fans waited eagerly for a shred of new information, when suddenly Square Enix announces that the game will be arriving on western shores on April 7, 2016.
So, starting right now, Unchained χ is available to download on the North American iTunes and Google Play Store! Not only that, but Series Director Tetsuya Nomura has also recorded a special message for fans, which you can view below along with the launch trailer:
A MESSAGE FROM KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES DIRECTOR—TETSUYA NOMURA
We wanted to thank all the KINGDOM HEARTS fans for patiently waiting for the launch of KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ in North America. Ever since the launch of the Japanese version, we’ve received many inquiries about when the North America version would become available. Because this is the first KINGDOM HEARTS title that we are providing operation support for outside of Japan, I’m afraid the preparations took longer than expected; but at last, we are ready to begin services for the North American version of KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ.
KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ falls into the earliest part of the KINGDOM HEARTS series chronology, and it is also the story of new beginnings. The main story may progress slowly, but part of the narrative experience is to take the time to tangibly feel other players existing in the same world as you do. By unraveling the mystery behind the era of “fairytales”, and experiencing the truth leading up to the Keyblade War, we believe players will be able to enjoy KINGDOM HEARTS II.8 even more, which is expected to launch this year. And it goes without saying that it will link not only to KINGDOM HEARTS III, but also to what lies beyond.
The gameplay will be much different from what you may be used to in previous KINGDOM HEARTS titles; in this game, the players would aim for a “one-turn triumph” which focuses on providing players with an exhilarating gameplay experience in a short amount of time on a smartphone. The battle mechanics were designed by the main programmer of The World Ends With You and the Co-director of KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ, Hiroyuki Ito, so if you’ve ever played The World Ends With You, you can expect a similar kind of enjoyment there as well. While we have various elements included, such as collecting and strengthening medals, avatars with a broad range of customization, communication between party members, a ranking system and much more, it is also a game that feels right at home within the KINGDOM HEARTS franchise.
We hope KINGDOM HEARTS fans can dive into the world of KINGDOM HEARTS not only through this title, but through the upcoming titles, KINGDOM HEARTS HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue and KINGDOM HEARTS III. At the same time, as an origins story, there are many elements in the game that new players can enjoy, and the game can also be easily picked up and played, so players in Japan are enjoying the game even if they’ve never experienced the KINGDOM HEARTS series before. So, it would be great if fans new and old take the opportunity to play the game!

It now says "free" on the search results page but still "unregister" when I open it, nn.
Edit: Downloaded with the link!
It's still not up for me :///
Have you tried following the links from KHInsider? If I search it on the App Store (for iOS), I can't find it, but if I click on the link in the OP, it takes me straight there :)
Ok I caved in and made a US account, this game better be fun after all this waiting
Darnit. Now I'm stuck at the transfer data screen. How do I link my japanese chi account to facebook?
Whoo, it just came up for me as I was writing a post whining about how it wasn't available yet.
Works every time.
And a launch trailer!

Really happy its finally out, hope it comes to eu soon too cause i really want to play it two.
Android Users- Restart your phones. It's up!
That little intro movie with Kairi and her grandma was so nice
edit: dam the external data is taking a while....

Say what?! Be back in a few minutes to be sure
That little intro movie with Kairi and her grandma was so nice
At first I didn't like the grandma's typical granny voice, then I got into it because it's Kingdom Hearts and she was telling The Fairytale and god why can't I break up with this series.
Also I wasn't supposed to like anything about this game but I really, really love this version of Dearly Beloved and it's making the endless downloading process so much more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise.
Downloading now, might take a well. If errors, hopefully they are fixed.
What's everyone's downloads at? Currently at 58% 1/2. Might end up crashing before it's all said n done with this music relaxing me n all
First difference I've noticed in the English version is that the different face styles have different colored eyes as opposed to the all-blue eyes in the Japanese version.
Also, Vulpes is the official translation of the 'Vulpeus' Union.
'Ability' is 'Special' in the English version.
'1 turn Finish!' is now '1 turn Triumph!'
What's everyone's downloads at? Currently at 58% 1/2. Might end up crashing before it's all said n done with this music relaxing me n all
63% 1/2
I'm actually starting to get sick of this version of Dearly Beloved, although that's probably more to do with this overly long wait than the song itself :p

90% 1/2. Fun times.
Kind of OT but my boyfriend has an iPhone 4, I'm guessing it's too ancient by now to handle this game? He can't even find it on the App Store.
EDIT: Good news for y'all, once you hit 2/2 the download starts going a lot quicker. At least it did for me.

17%, got a long way and hungry. Well might as get ready for a public bus rude today while I Wait
I'm so excited to be finally playing unchained!
Man..I was so worried about my phone acting like a butt and not letting me play the game because of the storage space. Thankfully I mange to get a SD card just in time.:redface: It is taking while to download, but so far so good. no errors yet~
I hope we all have fun playing and get team up sometime~:biggrin:
Have a good night everyone~
thats kinda strange, it should show up no matter what. Has he updated to ios 7 or above? its possible thats the issue
iOS 7.1.2 he says. Does that mean he's good? o:

yeah 7.0 is the required ios. I'm not sure what else it could be sorry
In other news the download just finished! yaas
Stuck at 25%, yeah this will be a long one.
When. Does this. Tutorial. End.
When. Does this. Tutorial. End.
Constant lectures end at quest no. 6. Henceforth, you might get an introduction to other mechanics once every two episodes.
And to be honest, the tutorial isn't that bad, LOL.
Edit:
Found KHUx on the PlayStore after restarting my Android smartphone. Had to search for it under "kingdom hearts". Sadly, it seems I will have to reinstall my game. I am still getting the E:05-0002 error code. :<

It was just worrying me because it extended beyond the tutorial/hub world so I was like. Please stop now.
It wasn't that bad it just didn't really explain much that I couldn't have figured out on my own. On a mechanics level the game feels like a slightly overstuffed crossover between TWEWY and KH: Coded so I'm just working out what all these numbers and signs mean. I like the medals though. I got a Sora one and it was like, d'awww Sora!
Sorry about your game. :( I hope you get it resolved quickly!
Not even counting it not being available in Europe, since I do not even own an own smartphone (and my work-thingy is a Windows phone), is there any possibility to get this to work on a bog-standard normal computer, lol?

I've heard that's the gold standard for Android emulators but as I have an Android phone myself I've never used it. Best of luck to you!

I hear people recommend bluestacks a lot. You could give that a try.

Guys help! How do I download the english ver?? I live in Greece!

Look up at BlueStacks and see if you can select the NA region PlayStore.
Whenever I try installing it it says "App not installed" and I do know the apk file isn't corrupt as I am able to use it on bluestacks. Sames happens when downloading from the google play store. Anyone else getting this problem or found a way to fix it?
It's downloading now! I really hope everything goes fine and I'll get to play it soon. This Dearly Beloved is so good though, my new favorite version.
I don't really want to go through the trouble of making a US Apple ID to start playing this, but I'll think about it... give it a little while, and see if Square Enix graces us with any releases beyond North America.
Interesting to note, though, that the Launch Trailer is labelled with North America in parentheses, which would imply that there will be multiple versions of it. Also that there was a SE Blog post about the North American release on the UK's blog, which was quickly removed. So... here's hoping I'll be saved a bit of the trouble.

Looks like there was a permission in the file that was unknown to my android (probably cause it was old). If you have this problem, download apk permissions and edit the apk file, and remove that extra permission. After should work perfectly fine.
Downloaded mine as soon as I woke up this morning. Geez, the external download time is kinda harsh. At least the game's version of Dearly Beloved is top tier. Hearing a new version of the song for the first time in a Kingdom Hearts game brings all kind of nostalgia, even if I've been playing the HD remixes recently.
Considering how much time I spend commuting, I might download this.
Keeps saying that the app isn't available yet. *flips table*
Anyone else have this problem?
Downloaded and played up to Quest 6 I believe. It's really nice playing in English now.
Gah, still not up on Google Play for me...curse you Android!
When do you guys think it will show up on Google play? I'm surprised they didn't release at the same time.
95%, and waiting for a Long time. Hopefully it works.

If y'all are talking about the Google Play Store, it's been up on there for hours. I should know, I have an Android and I...haven't slept.
Anyway, my boyfriend had a similar problem with it not appearing (except it was on the iOS app store) and he just updated the store app and it appeared. So you might want to try that? Hope it works out.
I restarted my phone and it showed up!
Android users restart your phones and it will come up to install.
Alright, the link in the OP works. Many thanks, Sign!
It looks like I got it. But for some reason it was WAY down there.
I have the game on my IPad.

So not only did the KH fandom fail to crash the app stores with gleeful enthusiasm, but it's not even in the Top New Releases section (on Google Play anyway).
For shame.
I actually had to look for it but I got it! It's on my SD card now (2 gigs, as it turned out) to save my poor phone and I'm watching the beginning now!
Also there is a Migrate button; Anyone who played the JP version, check and see if you can migrate your data with it.
Anyone else experiencing a bit of a lag while running around?

I'm guessing that it's because either it doesn't appear for some people, or most of the Western KH fandom would rather scream and cry for KH3 in impatience and dismiss this game as a "dumb spinoff"
Is this serious!? I live in Brasil so I won't be able to play the game!?!?!? ???
Can anyone tell me if there's a way for me to play it?
Still at 95%, I even left my house hoping for better chances, but nothing

From what I've seen its the second one when I saw it announced on my FB there were a lot of people whining about where's 3 why are we getting this? Come on people.
It keeps stopping the download and telling me to check storage space. Does anyone know how to get his to download onto an SD card? That thing has over 2 gigs worth of empty space compared to my crammed phone.

They're just a bunch of nostalgic casuals who want to jump on the Kingdom Hearts III cult bandwagon. Ignore them. They're unaware that Unchained X is developed by an entirely different team.
So I downloaded this on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a way I can cross play using the same character, or will it make me use two different accounts?

From what I heard of it from a friend, you can connect to Facebook and back up your data for use on other devices.

I don't really think it has anything to do with the fans, rather, I think it's just Square Enix of America's fault for not advertising the app on the respective App/iOS store effectively. The official Unchained X Twitter account has been dormant ever since the release. Heck, even when you do search for the game, it doesn't even load on the respective stores (I had to click an outside link to download it inside the App store).

I'll have to look into that, thank you!
I've already played my way through quest 15/16, and I love it. Very convenient that this came out while I'm taking a little vacation back home.
I got to say that this game is addictive! I've been playing on and off from 5 this morning. As a long time SWFC fan I really like the medals. Is there anyway to trade medals in game or not really?
I'm downloading it right now!!!
| And it goes without saying that it will link not only to KINGDOM HEARTS III, but also to what lies beyond. |
I don't want to try to download it again but it is still at 95%. Anyone having this issue?
My download finally finished but it's stuck on the screen that says complete. Should I try to reopen the app? Or will I have to start the download all over again?
I can't even get past this so-called "save error." Does anyone know how to fix this? Seems to be a common problem, by the looks of the reviews...
i found it just have to keep scrolling in the main menu of the google play store til you find the preregister now section.
I joined Unicornis solely because I thought he looked cool. Angus was my number 2 choice.
Finally it installed, hopefully it move to my SD card, this is a new phone I got.

There is no medal trade system, sadly. It would be nice if there was. It'd add a completely new element to the game if they did.
It seems I will need to take the decision of reinstalling the game, and restart my progress for the second time. Since this game has been oficially released, I'll try to link it with my fave book account and create a backup. :<
1. Does this game save automatically? Because I can't find the save button and I haven't seen any automatic save notifications.
2. How do I join a party?
3. My characters name is Xickn...CLEVER!!!
4. My greeting is "KHInsider.com" free advertising
1. Does this game save automatically? Because I can't find the save button and I haven't seen any automatic save notifications.
There are no auto save notifications. It just saves. The only time it doesn't save is when you are in the middle of a quest.
| 2. How do I join a party? |
Menu > Other > Party
From there you have multiple options. You can make a party, find a party or manage requests from/to parties.

Awesome!
Would a KHInsider party not be awesome? Everyone on the site (Or possibly jut the mods) fighting together!!
Why is it saying that my oneplus one doesn't support it? Is it because I bought in India
I am absolutely LOVING this game. It's so good.
In other news, in the Facebook comments section of the Unchained Chi launch trailer video, most of the comments were people saying how stupid the game was and whining about KH3, so I took the time to thank Square for giving us the chance to play Chi. Someone then responded to me thanking Square and accused me of being part of the reason that KH3 is taking so long, and then told me to spend all of my money in Unchained Chi so that Square can "make the game everybody but you wants".
Why is the casual KH fanbase so full of spite and entitlement? I just don't understand.
Anyone know any emulators, besides Andy, that I can used to play Unchained on my computer? Apparently Andy takes too many megabytes for my PC (like, I guess it takes 5 to install and I don't even have 1?), which is weird because I haven't even downloaded anything onto this computer!
But whatever, I guess.
So, yeah: if anyone has a link to another safe android emulator, that maybe takes less room, I'll love you for life:D
Sheesh Nazo. Some people. I'm just glad I have a game to play while they finish KH3. It's lots of fun, I think last I checked I'm first in my party?
Their loss though. ^^
What level is everyone? I'm 11 going on 12 soon

Because they are blaming everyone for not giving them KH3 and not all these games that and this is from a comment I dealt with on a UNX video 'mess' and blaming Nomura because they spent ten years waiting for 3
Looks like I won't be able to play until tomorrow so gonna let the game download in the background n
What level is everyone? I'm 11 going on 12 soon
Currently 10. I forgot where I got curative bulbs, and I need one more. The search is terrible lol. Otherwise, I'm loving the game. It's immensely fun. Was thinking about starting a party with my irl friends, but it would've been cool to be in a party with people from here. Whaaaaatever.
Looks like there was a permission in the file that was unknown to my android (probably cause it was old). If you have this problem, download apk permissions and edit the apk file, and remove that extra permission. After should work perfectly fine.
Replying to this mainly to point out that this method worked. Thanks.
But boy, do I wish you got to that point earlier. I just wasted my morning recovering my phone from getting bricked (rendered unusable) because I thought I could just move the apk into the phone directly and change read/write permissions on the file itself, but that just caused my phone to get old the "turn on then immediately restart forever" error. So yeah, nobody do what I did. Do what Ruri did.
I can't get the game running because my phone default sends that 700MB of whatever onto my internal SD card instead of the one that actually has space for things, but hey, progress was made somewhere.
Holy crap! I just got one hit by a behemoth!!! It's only level 4!!!
I'm getting kinda tired by these Donald beginner support medals from people.
I'm getting kinda tired by these Donald beginner support medals from people.
Theyre EVERYWHERE. I got a Bambi medal and shared that one. If nothing appears that I want/need I'll just close out the quest before I start it to refresh the list and get better one.
I also wound up making making my own Vulpes party. I didn't know there was a limit of 30 members. But I'm totally down to play with members from here and irl in the same party.
Too bad since it was just the first day and all of the players are begin with DONALD lol.
@Sign Unfortunately BlueStacks doesn't seem to be working for me. I'll download it, try to run it, and it'll extract files for up to 46%. But then it just seems to stop running entirely and doesn't give me anymore prompts:(
I might just have to end up buying a phone for this, though I don't want to since this was supposed to be a free to play game:/
I just made one called KHInsider.com feel free to join. I'm Xickn
EDIT: Now that that's the name of my party, I'll probably change my greeting
Sorry for the double post, but someone named Harmony just joined my party, is that anyone here?
It runs pretty well in bluestacks :). Also I can't find your party
Reinstalled KHUx for the last time. Was able to back it up with Facebook. Hopefully this means I have the full and working version of the game~ My GameID is in my signature. :]

Glad you were able to get the game working! Question, does the game automatically back up when you log into Facebook or do you have to do something in particular?
Since I'm from Europe, I'm not really sure whether I want to join a party just yet since I might want to switch over to an EU account eventually, but from what I've played, I'm loving the battle system so far. Somehow, I've managed to amass about 10,113 strength and 9594 def with Mickey, Mushu and Vivi medals in the first few hours of playing and I'm not even sure if that's breaking the game or something. I'm sure it'll level out eventually though.

I literally got a 5 star KH1 Sora medal on my first pull that wasn't part of the tutorial lol. I am super happy about that.
Haven't posted here in ages, but wanted to say this works on the Nox emulator for PC pretty well, if you don't have a device that can run it. Some audio glitches here and there, but for the most part, looks good. Can even fullscreen without borders or bars.
Apparently I'm just not meant to play this game. Because I finally finally finally got an emulator to download onto one of my laptops (one where the screen's actually kind of broken, tbh), but now Unchained Key won't install on it!
I even downloaded a second emulator for the thing, to see if that one was just being fussy, but it won't uninstall Unchained, either.
-sigh- I thought I'd finally found my answer, after wrestling with this all day, but apparently not:/
I might just have to see about getting a phone to play this...
Now I can finally see what all the rage is about! Here's hoping it's not like the rest of freemium/mobile games and that it stands out.

Unlike most, KHUx doesn't keep throwing it in your face to purchase their microtransactions. Only ad in the whole game I've come across so far is the one in the mid-center on the home page, but that was there in the very original Chi too, so nothing's changed.
Now I can finally see what all the rage is about! Here's hoping it's not like the rest of freemium/mobile games and that it stands out.
You can play the game pretty much non-stop without the need to buy anything. Later on maybe in quests 200+, it gets harder to get AP due to level caps or slow level gaining, but you can easily remedy that by going to older quests that take up less AP and gain levels that way. You still wouldn't need to buy anything.
Premium medals will certainly be the big draw to spending money if you aren't saving your jewels to try to pull for them, but there are plenty of people who have been playing the JP version with much success without having to spend a dime on the game.
I'm still unsure which union to join. I'm leaning toward Vulpes or Unicornus. Does the union have any impact on how you experience the game? Decisions! DX

Not really, no, your union will only affect rankings (you'll get the same prizes if you're active enough, anyway), which foreteller shows up in certain scenes, and which union Ephemera and Skuld will belong to. Just pick the one you think is coolest, yo
You can switch unions at any time, for a cost of 100 jewels and all of the lux you've earned for the week.
For real though, not only is the probably the best mobile game I've played to date (and I'm saying that as an avid fan of the Infinity Blade games), but this is just a genuinely good game. Like, I'd play this on Vita or PS4 in a heartbeat. I remember when Chi first got announced in 2013 I was very weirded out, but watching walkthroughs of it on YouTube changed my opinion, and now playing Unchained for myself, this is a great addition to KH. I love it.
I think a big win for this game is having the director for The World Ends with You working with Nomura. That game kicked all the ass. I never thought much of this game, but after playing about an hour of it, I'm really liking it. Hopefully it'll last me awhile in short bursts here and there.
You know what would be great? If somebody could just post the Android files from that 700MB- 1GB download the game needs to do before actually starting gameplay. The KHI Twitter has already tweeted out the apk/installation file. It might help more savvy users work around all the failed downloads and lack of storage space by just copy-pasting the files themselves into where they must go. Heck, from all my failed troubleshooting, I now know the folder some or all of that data goes is "com.square_enix.android_googleplay.khuxww", located in "/data/data"....if anyone actually knows what that all means.

More worthwhile distractions from your future replays of P4, lol.
Still haven't started, the two stages of Downloading have going on all night and I only just got 59% done of it. Thr first stage.

Have you made sure to connect your phone to your wifi? Because it shouldn't take that long.

I concur. My download took no more than twenty minutes.

Not under WiFi, under my paid internet service from Metro PCS. Should I connect to the wifi spot I am at?
Edit: Making better progress now I switched to the Burger King WiFi
Edit 2: Made it through, now part of the Vulpeus

I'm still going through P4 Arena at the moment, but I'm not sure when I'll fit this in haha.

Yeah, my download stopped for a good five-ish minutes around that percentage too I think. I was on my iPad, but once it jumped it was a quick finish.
I don't think I've ever pre-registered for a mobile game before. Even though I haven't touched it yet (and it was a day-one download), I'm so excited it's here!
Just finished making a banner for the KHInsider Facebook page. I'm not a graphic designer but I'm happy for a first attempt.
And here's the separate picture of the X characters I had to make

That actually looks nice and cool. Good job. I really like it. :]
Okay I started to play the first day it came out last week and I have already reached the final mission for this update. Does anyone have a clue when the next one will come out?
On another note if anyone is reading this just to know if they should get the game or not. I would say that right now it is the best time if you are going to get it, as once the month is up there might be a small issue. As right now all AP for the missions are cut in half and once that is up you will level much much slower. Its great right now as I'm able to level up and get more AP by getting the Avatar Coins, and I'm not focused on unlocking every single thing in the costumes. Basically if you start playing now this is what you need to do in my opinion.
[LIST]
[*]Save Jews up to 3600 so you can get that one extra Metal each day.
[*]Don't try and get every Metal unless thats your thing as right now it take 100 Jews to open 5 new slots.
[*]Save your Avatar Coins for the easy costume slots near the start of the bored, aka AP, HP, and Cost.
[*]When going against the new Egg enemies use Speed types that have HIGH attack rates. For example Stitch uses only 1 of the Drive points and at the third rank will attack 6 times, this is really good. As even if you have a type advantage you will only get 1 point taken off the Egg's.
[*]If your having trouble beating a part I would suggest going to Filter and finding those uncomplete missions and going back to train with those, while also hunting for EXP Metal's. Then try again later, again right now this is a good time as those missions will help you Level and you won't have to worry about the waiting for your AP to recover.
[*]When you come across a Raid Boss I would suggest seeing how close you are to Leveling, as these are perfect for leveling.
[*]Finally don't' worry about how many missions are open right now as it will take you hours and hours and hours just to get to where I am. And even after that you will still have so much fun going back and beating the missions you haven't 100% completed yet.

If it follows JPN's pattern, then either 25 or 50 quests will be added monthly. (JPN Ux has 500 story quests so far.)

Thanks for that quick answer. Dang I hope that's not the case, as you said they have a lot out right now, and they should be able to just change or fix what they need to, to release it. The only thing I could think they would need to change is some graphics, and adding or subtracting enemies. Though I guess its okay as I still need to complete some missons for 100%.
Since you have played both now, have they added new enimes or anything, and do they plan on releasing new worlds now? I saw somewhere that they might add a few new worlds now.
When do people think the next story update will occur?

Maybe around E3, is my guess.
i say sometime next month
May, for sure.
May, for sure.
*obsessively tries to beat the current missions before May*
That's what I'm doing Tao, but right now I'm a tad stucks. Need to level up my medals so I can clobber things and get though this.
When do people think the next story update will occur?
If we're to be caught up by 2.8, then May. I suspect we'll get news of a story update after that one at E3, if we are to get news of the game there. I'd expect story updates to come somewhat frequently.
How many quests total are in this update? I'm around 150.
