Here are the new and old characters appearing in the game.
First off, we have Xehanort as a young boy, as the game will explain how he became the main villain of the Kingdom Hearts games and Sora’s nemesis till Kingdom Hearts III. A younger Master Eraqus also appears as Xehanort’s friend, and the game will explain how the two bonded together back then. The duo would often hang out together back then, practicing as hard as they could as Keyblade wielders in-training, and play games together.
Together with Eraqus and Xehanort, four other characters were revealed. We only know their names and appearances for now, as profiles for each one of them will be shared in the following days. These four characters are Urd, Vor, Bragi, and Hermod. Fans around the world are already speculating on each one of them.
Another update will come on June 10:
