Upcoming rhythm-action game Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is getting a playable demo. The devs say it'll drop sometime in mid-October, but they haven't been more specific as to when.
What will the Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory demo contain?
We don't know which stages or songs will be present in the Melody of Memory demo, unfortunately. The news was announced via a tweet on the official Kingdom Hearts Twitter account. In the tweet, Square Enix says to "keep your calendar clear for mid-October" and prompts fans to "get ready to dive into amazing rhythm-action gameplay with memorable tunes". Sadly, they don't go into any more detail about which songs will be present in the demo.
Keep your calendar clear for mid-October!

What exactly is Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory?
Melody of Memory is a rhythm-action game featuring songs and settings from the Kingdom Hearts series. The narrative will summarize what's happened so far in the series while also containing a hint of what's to come via recurring main character Kairi. Three different kinds of stages will be present in Melody of Memory. Those types of stages are as follows:
- Field Battle: explore Kingdom Hearts worlds and fight enemies themed around that world
- Memory Dive: replay specific stages and moments from previous Kingdom Hearts games
- Boss Battle: face off against iconic bosses from the franchise
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 13th this year. Before then, you'll have a chance to sink your teeth into the demo in mid-October. We'll bring you more on the specific release date for the demo as we get it.
