Sora can finally afford normal person shoes.
Disney announced that the Kingdom Hearts franchise has reached a billion dollars in revenue, according to an investor-focused article on the Walt Disney Company website. The piece, titled "How Games Are Helping Shape Disney's Next Chapter," highlights the company's various achievements in the gaming industry, including the success of its partnerships with Epic Games and Fortnite Creative, as well as the popularity of Marvel Rivals among younger audiences.
Sean Shoptaw, Disney's executive vice president of games and digital entertainment, confirmed that the company owns nine games that have collectively grossed over $1 billion at retail, with Kingdom Hearts among them. The author of the article, who admits to being unfamiliar with the series, notes that Kingdom Hearts has managed to accumulate $1 billion in revenue from 15 mainline games over a quarter-century, despite being primarily associated with millennials.
The article concludes with congratulations to Disney, Square Enix, and their shareholders, and a hint that Kingdom Hearts 4's next billion dollars might be on the horizon.
