The χ Series
Long before Sora, before the worlds were scattered, the universe was whole and Keyblade wielders numbered in the thousands. This is the ancient past, where the fate of light and darkness was decided in a war that shattered reality itself — and where the master of masters set a plan in motion that spans millennia.
The Dark Seeker Saga
The saga that spans Sora's journey — from the fall of three Keyblade apprentices on a single fateful night to the final confrontation between seven lights and thirteen darknesses at the Keyblade Graveyard. This is the story of how a cheerful island boy became the hero who would save — and lose — everything.
The Lost Master Arc
The Dark Seeker Saga is complete. The war against Xehanort is over. But the mysteries of the Master of Masters, the nature of the fictional realm, and the fate of Sora — lost to a world between sleep and death — remain. The next chapter of Kingdom Hearts has only just begun.
Cancelled Titles
