One of the more well received games of 2019 so far has been Kingdom Hearts 3. The long awaited Square Enix title provided a fitting and epic conclusion to the story told by the series that has spanned over seventeen years and numerous games. Most who have picked up Kingdom Hearts 3 have likely completed it by now, although the game made sure to include many extra achievements to obtain, even after completing the main story. However, it was promised that there would be free DLC and updates after its launch. Now, there is confirmation that the Kingdom Hearts 3 Critical Mode is coming soon.

Greetings, it’s been a while since I last posted. Spring is here, and I hope everyone is doing well. #KingdomHearts III’s long-awaited Critical Mode is available as a free update tomorrow (PT).

Series creator Tetsuya Nomura recently took to the official Kingdom Hearts social media accounts to announce the new Critical Mode. In the post, Nomura acknowledges the span of time that has occurred since his last message and confirms that the new Critical Mode will be released as a part of a new free update that launches tomorrow, Tuesday April 22nd.

Nomura does mention that the Critical Mode will be different from the similar features found in previous Kingdom Hearts games. The Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 all had optional higher difficulty modes that included challenging secret boss fights and other means of throwing obstacles at the player, so it will be interesting to see just what specifically is different with this new mode. Either way, it will be a nice excuse for players to jump back into Sora’s final adventure in the Xehanort saga.
