Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ / Union χ

Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ, later renamed as Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross], is a Kingdom Hearts game exclusive to the iOS and Android smartphone platforms/mobile devices; and was first announced on May 12, 2015. During Square Enix's E3 Conference on June 16, 2015, a trailer for the game was released showcasing gameplay. Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ was released in Japan on September 3, 2015 and in North America on April 7, 2016.

Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ features plot and gameplay elements from the Japan-exclusive web browser game Kingdom Hearts χ, and is free to play, but contains in-app purchases. It is the first Kingdom Hearts game to be released on smartphone platforms/mobile devices.

In April 2017, the game was rebranded with the Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] content update, featuring multiplayer and a theater mode.

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 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). It has been added to, is hosted by, and launches from the same app as Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross], but can be launched independently from the title screen.
(The app itself has received a new icon to garner attention for the new game addition.)
