Kingdom Hearts X began life as a browser based game that was released in Japan only. It would eventually see release on smartphones as Unchained X and a later rebrand, changing the name once again to Union X. A CGI movie called X Back Cover was included with the 2.8 collection that covered the events of the first half of the story. It is here we first meet the most mysterious figure in Kingdom Hearts, the Master of Masters, and learn the truth behind the devastating Keyblade War.
