Created by video game developers Square Enix in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, Kingdom Hearts has been a favorite of Disney fans on Play Station, XBOX, and PC.

KINGDOM HEARTS is the story of Light overcoming Darkness with the power of Friendship.

KINGDOM HEARTS is a series of action role-playing games developed and published by Square Enix under the direction of Tetsuya Nomura. The series is a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney.
