After announcing earlier this year that the Android closed beta test for 'Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link' would be postponed, Square-Enix made an announcement today that the game's closed beta test will finally be scheduled next month from April 25th till May 2nd: The lucky players who'll get to be chosen for this closed beta test will be notified sometime around April 19th!
Definitely not the last lol
The 'Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link' closed beta for Android devices, which was originally scheduled for January 2024, has been postponed until this spring per the game's official X/Twitter account, attributing the delay to needing additional time to further refine the game: We'll be sure to let you know as soon as a specific date for the Android closed beta is announced.
2023 for me was the year of PS5... finally managed to grab one last spring and have been loving it ever since! My first game on the system was Hogwarts Legacy, which I enjoyed quite a lot, giving me the true Hogwarts video game experience I've been longing for ever since I first got into Harry Potter over two decades ago. For my favorite game of the year, I'm torn between Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Spider-Man 2. I felt both were very compelling games and great additions to the Star Wars and Marvel lore. Favorite soundtrack, gonna go with Assassin's Creed: Mirage, though I'm probably biased due to the soundtrack's Middle Eastern feel (and me bring from the region definitely helped the music resonate with me). Favorite multiplayer... I don't play multiplayer games lol (but I'll get back to you on that after Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link is released)

Recently, the prototype test of 'Kingdom Hearts - Missing Link' for iOS users in Japan has come to an end after a couple of days, allowing people a chance to try out the game for the first time.
