AKingdom Heartsfan has made an incredible commission that swaps the popular Disney characters forLooney Tunesones.Kingdom Heartsset a new crossover standard when it was released, but this idea could be the next step for Square Enix.
Disney has been a renowned multimedia company for many years, with popular IPs likePinnochio,The Lion King, and101 Dalmatiansunder its belt. In the 1990s, a serendipitous meeting between Disney executives and Shinji Hashimoto eventually resulted inthe creation ofKingdom Hearts. Since the beginning, the series has paired well-known Disney andFinal Fantasycharacters in an action RPG format. Due to the series' popularity, sequels and spinoffs continue to be released today. One gamer has decided to imagine an alternativeKingdom Heartsthat replaces the Disney characters withLooney Tunesheroes.
Twitter user MCAshedesign recently shared theirKingdom Heartsfan art that imagines what the series would be like withLooney Tunescharacters instead of Disney ones. The fan art includes Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig each inKingdom Hearts-appropriate gear. Given that he’s recognized as theLooney Tunesleader inSpace Jam, Bugs has replaced Mickey Mouse and is wielding a unique Keyblade. Daffy Duck is clad in his Robin Hood attire, while Porky Pig seemingly replaces Donald Duck, and he’s sitting on a helmet that resembles Marvin the Martian. The fan art swaps Sora for a unique hero based onFinal Fantasy 15’s Noctis, Riku is replaced by a character inspired by a Japanese light novel, andXenoblade’s Malos acts as the game’s villain.

Coyote could be used as summons.Kingdom Heartssummons can provide offensive and defensive enhancements like Simba’s damage-dealing roar, Tinker Bell’s healing and reviving, and Bambi’s MP orbs. Tetsuya Nomura recently confirmed that the next title in the series is more likeKingdom Hearts 13with how many titles exist in the series. Nomura also suggested that the upcoming sequel is more of a reset that’ll help bring new players in.Kingdom Hearts 4is in development, and it was teased during the series' 20th anniversary event in Tokyo, Japan.
