Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link's Second Beta Adds A Ton Of Story Content
The second closed beta test for Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link is finally live and it brings with it several new cutscenes that give us our best idea yet of what the game is actually about.
Although the wait for Kingdom Hearts 4 news has felt like an incredibly long one, it's arguably been slower-going for anyone who was looking forward to Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link, the next big mobile game in the series. Announced at the same time as KH4, Missing Link was said to have a closed beta test in 2022, something that didn't end up happening.

Things are mostly the same in the first few missions of the test, with your protagonist waking up on the shore and running into Remus, a red-haired character who introduces you to the world.

After that, we see scientists in a lab studying anomalies, who also seem to have a problem with Scala's Baroque Society, which is the one that Remus belongs to.
