Kingdom Hearts 3 Becomes Fastest Selling Game In Franchise’s History

SQUARE ENIX has announced that Kingdom Hearts 3 has shipped more than five million units globally, both physically and digitally, across all platforms since its January 29th release, making it the fastest selling game in the history of the series.  With the game topping the UK weekly charts, selling almost as many copies as Resident Evil 2 did.

The shipment and digital sales numbers for the long-awaited installment in the blockbuster franchise have been matched with critical adoration.

Kingdom Hearts III’s launch sales were up an impressive 363 per cent compared to 2017’s Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and up 157 per cent compared to launch sales for 2006’s Kingdom Hearts II.

Kingdom Hearts 3 tells a heartwarming story about the power of friendship and light vs. darkness, as players follow a young Keyblade wielder named Sora, who is joined by Donald Duck, Goofy and his friends to protect the universe from an evil force known as the Heartless.

Set in a vast array of worlds including but not limited to Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen, Tangled, Big Hero 6 and Hercules; Pixar Animation Studios’ Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.; and Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, Sora and his friends unite with iconic Disney and Pixar characters to overcome tremendous challenges and persevere against the darkness invading their worlds.
