Square Enix to rvl a new Kingdom Hearts mobile game, and it's tentatively titled Xehanort project. The reason for this rserv space name is that Square Enix can mount the press by asking everyone to join a Twitter campaign to guess the name of the game.
Now, I would like to point out that Square Enix often holds its cards close to its chest, rarely sharing game videos or significant screenshots for its free mobile games, so it's not surprising to see the company look at this attitude with the launch of today's "Guess the name" campaign for the Xehanort project. Not only does this tactic allow the company to show nothing of the title during this public announcement, but it is also an easy way to draw attention to what essentially boils down to an advertising campaign. As you can guess, I'm not a fan of companies that advertise games without showing anything, especially when it's done on purpose.
given that Square Enix is ​​so narrow, we don't know much about Project Xehanort, but what we do know is that the game will contain integrated purchases and that it will be available on Android, Amazon and iOS this spring. After that, there is not much to do. However if you look at the only two tweets From the official Project Xehanort Twitter account, you'll notice that the word "experience" is used in both cases to describe the game, and when you associate this with the fact that IAPs will be available, it's probably safe to assume that the game will be free while pushing expensive IAPs.
If you want to participate in the Twitter campaign to guess the name of the Xehanort project, just follow the new @ProjectXehanort account and then add a comment with your guess while including the #KHNameContest hashtag. Only one registration per Twitter account is allowed per day, and participants cannot submit applications via multiple accounts, otherwise they will be disqualified. This campaign will end on January 28 at 6:59 p.m. Pacific time, and ten winners will be selected on that date.
