On June 22, 2020, a new game called '''''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''''' (or '''''Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road''''', as displayed on the new, vertically-split title screen) had simultaneously launched for both the Japanese and Global/English servers.  Similarly to '''''Kingdom Hearts (Re): Chain of Memories''''', it utilizes a card-based combat/gameplay system; and endeavors to explore the events, realizations, and life decisions that ultimately led young Xehanort to darkness - "''who he crossed paths with, what he was thinking, and where he was headed''" (on his way to darkness)<ref>[https://api-s.sp.kingdomhearts.com/information/detail/67032 Information - A Letter from the Director]</ref>. It has been added to, is hosted by, and launches from the same app as '''''Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]''''', but can be launched independently from the title screen. (The app itself has received a new icon to garner attention for the new game addition.)
