Xehanort is a creepy dude living on the Destiny Islands.
Now it’s time to skip into the future - not quite to Sora, but we’re getting there. The Keyblade War ends the known universe, but the hopes of children (seriously), as well as a hidden Foreteller and their followers - they call themselves Dandelions - live on to rebuild the world. Whoever controls Kingdom Hearts has unlimited power, knowledge, and all the other stuff that good guys typically protect from bad guys in stories like this.ĭuring the Keyblade War, the X-blade is fractured into 20 pieces: 13 dark pieces, and seven light pieces. The strongest of them all is the X-blade, the only tool capable of accessing Kingdom Hearts - a repository of all the hearts (we’d call them souls) of beings and worlds. The stronger the heart, the stronger the Keyblade. Keyblades are weapons extracted from the heart of a warrior. The ultra-powerful X-blade is to blame for the Keyblade War. The war between the Foretellers will become known as the Keyblade War, named after the weapons they each wield. The group splinters and a war between them boils to the surface - instigating the cataclysmic event they were supposed to protect the world against. The Foretellers continue on peacefully, but several members begin to suspect that one among them intends to betray the order. The Master of Masters then disappears, seemingly forever. A sage known as the Master of Masters foretells that a battle between light and dark will happen, and trusts their apprentices, known as the Foretellers, to protect the light above all else. Everything begins generations before Sora, the young protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series, existed. But many of these games have bearing on the events of Kingdom Hearts 3. We call them spinoffs, because they deviate from the central plot of Sora’s journey, as depicted in the core games. There are tons of games that don’t have numbers attached but are very much important to the overarching story. But first they need to find new allies and rescue some old Keyblade students: Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. Sora, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey, and their allies band together as the Guardians of Light and take out Xehanort and his 12 allies before they can gain access to the knowledge and power that lies within Kingdom Hearts. Now, an evil wizard, Xehanort, aims to re-create that historic battle - the Keyblade War - to forge the X-blade and gain access to the power of the Kingdom Hearts. Need the shorthand version? Here’s our best attempt:Īn ancient battle between light and dark fractured the world. If you’re a newcomer, a dabbler, or a fan, we’re here to explain Kingdom Hearts in as much detail as you care to have. So: What the heck even happens in Kingdom Hearts? We’ve done our best to clarify that on the eve of Kingdom Hearts 3, the game we’ve long waited for to complete this sprawling saga. Adding complexity, the series’ release order doesn’t mirror its in-universe chronology.
The backstory spans nearly 17 years, more than seven games, and as many as six different video game systems. Delving into Kingdom Hearts for a newcomer is, in a word, overwhelming.
