Disney has announced a new mobile gacha game, Disney Pixel RPG, which will appeal to fans waiting for Kingdom Hearts 4. The game features pixel art versions of Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Maleficent, Winnie the Pooh, Baymax, and Stitch. The game's storyline involves Disney worlds being invaded by strange programs, leading to chaotic encounters between characters. Gameplay is described as simple yet strategizable, with players able to customize avatars and send Disney characters on expeditions. The game is expected to release on August 7, with pre-registration available on the App Store and Google Play Store.

Disney Pixel RPG is planned for release on August 7, but the App Store lists it as releasing on September 9. It’s likely that the game will launch in Japan first, as it's being published by Japanese company GungHo Online Entertainment.

Kingdom Hearts fans have been eagerly awaiting news about Kingdom Hearts 4, as it's been over two years since any updates. The Disney Pixel RPG seems to carry thematic and gameplay elements reminiscent of Kingdom Hearts, which might suggest the inclusion of familiar characters like Sora in the future. GungHo Online Entertainment, the game's publisher, is known for creating engaging mobile games, which adds promising potential to Disney Pixel RPG’s success.
