The former took on the name Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and the latter became known as Xemnas. Like the rest of the pupils, Xehanort was split into a Heartless and a Nobody. When he tried to stop their secret experiments, they banished him to a realm of darkness, and a new leader took over – Xehanort. Isn’t it a fun plot twist?), a scientist who studied the heart to protect people from darkness.
The pupils who became the Organization were originally led by Ansem the Wise (yeah, he has the same name as the bad guy from the first game. Their goal was to destroy a bunch of Heartless to create a new Kingdom Hearts, but Sora stops them. They created many Heartless and ended up becoming Heartless themselves then their Nobodies started the Organization. Near the end of the story, you learn that there was once a group of scientists who had been performing experiments on people’s hearts. When someone becomes a Heartless, their body gets left behind in the form of a Nobody. This is where things began to get complicated. In Kingdom Hearts II, a new group of baddies, Organization XIII, took center stage.
All for one kingdom hearts series#
Spoilers from the entire Kingdom Hearts series lie ahead! Turn back now if you want to experience all of the twists and turns for yourself.įirst up, a quick recap of the events most people have played: The first Kingdom Hearts was about defeating Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, who sought the power and knowledge of the titular Kingdom Hearts, “The heart of all worlds.” To do this, he kidnapped seven princesses of heart, but Sora stopped him and saved the day. Here’s everything you need to know about what has transpired between the second game and now – the new story beats, the new faces, and a little bit of theory to get you caught up before the trilogy concludes. I’ve taken a deep dive back into Kingdom Hearts lore and have emerged to bring back a primer for Kingdom Hearts III. In the time since Kingdom Hearts II launched, Square Enix has put out six new game entries and one animated film, all of which lead up to Kingdom Hearts III. Kingdom Hearts is known for having a needlessly complicated story, and I managed to forget most of the nitty-gritty details even though I had played all of the games.
I’m a huge fan of the series, but there was something I realized as I watched the trailer: I’d mostly forgotten the story setup for this new game. The developers have been trickling out information for four years, but now the game is finally starting to feel tangible.
In the past few months Square Enix has given us two meaty trailers, shown off a Toy Story world created with direct input from Pixar, and announced a 2018 release date. Excitement is at an all-time high for Kingdom Hearts III.
