PAX East 2017 is in full swing this weekend and with it, some major updates have been announced to the gaming industry. One such announcement is the reveal that Square Enix is adding a major update to their mobile title, Kingdom Hearts Unchained X, and it involves a multiplayer addition to the game!

Aptly dubbed Kingdom Hearts Union X, the update is expected to roll out sometime in the next month or so, though Square Enix hasn’t given a set date for the release just yet. With the update, comes Square Enix’s promised multiplayer function, called Union X [Cross], which allows players to battle it out with their friends as they take on Heartless together. According to the reveal, Square Enix has ensured that players will be able to team up with up to five other gamers online, either by matchmaking with strangers or by teaming up with your friends and family. To communicate in Union X [Cross], there will be text bubbles and emotes to keep you all connected as you battle it out with the little shadowy monsters. Who doesn’t like a bit of teamwork?

This is a pretty big update for a mobile game, and one that’s definitely long awaited (Unchained X came out a year ago, so we’re definitely all in favor of some change by now). Fans can expect out of the update is if they choose to pre-register for the game are some exclusive smartphone wallpapers and other in-game rewards. From the look of the game’s website, those in-game rewards will consist of jewels for currency in the game and exclusive medals. You can check out the teaser released for the game below:

This announcement comes at a perfect time, as Square Enix has been rather coy on updating fans on their highly popular Kingdom Hearts series. Recently, the developers were kind enough to give us some insight into the new Keyblade weapons of the game, so having a second update about their series in such a short amount of time definitely feels like Christmas for us. We’ll definitely be following up on this update, but if you’re gaming on either Android or IOS, you’ll have a chance to try it out when the update launches.
