 On September 7, 2018, a new game mode called χ3 [ex tres] (composed of 5 "Classic Kingdom" mini-games) was added to '''''Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]''''', which, once all cleared, would grant access to a product code that would allow the player to redeem a Starlight Keyblade skin in '''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', for the platform of their choice.
+On June 22, 2020, a new game called '''''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''''' (or '''''Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road''''', as displayed on the new, vertically-split title screen) had simultaneously launched for both the Japanese and Global/English servers.  Similarly to '''''Kingdom Hearts (Re): Chain of Memories''''', it utilizes a card-based combat/gameplay system; and endeavors to explore the events, realizations, and life decisions that ultimately led young Xehanort to darkness - "''who he crossed paths with, what he was thinking, and where he was headed''" (on his way to darkness)<ref>[https://api-s.sp.kingdomhearts.com/information/detail/67032 Information - A Letter from the Director]</ref>.
