Disney Emoji Blitz is amatch threepuzzlemobile game originally created byDisney Interactive, and formerly published byDisney Mobile. The general concept of the game is to match three Disney characters in the form of stylizedemojis scattered throughout one board.
In November 2017,Star Wars was introduced to the game during the "Star Wars Villain" event, with emojis ofRey,Finn,BB-8, andKylo Ren being added to promote the release ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi.[1]
In 2019,Jam City took over the development and publishing operations as a result of Disney's decision to directly pull out of the video game industry a few years earlier, by closing their in-house units and instead licensing their properties to other developers.[2]
From February 15 to 18, 2020, players had the opportunity to unlock thetitular character andThe Child fromThe Mandalorian during the "Star Wars Challenge Event",[3] with the characters returning later that year throughout November 25–30 for the "Multi-Map Villain Event", alongside new emojis ofCara Dune, theDeath Trooper, andMoff Gideon.[4]
In 2022, it was announced that content forObi-Wan Kenobi,Ice Age, andHocus Pocus 2 would be released, alongside aJungle Book collection, and emojis ofBruno andLuisa Madrigal fromEncanto, in celebration of the game's sixth year anniversary.[5]
Disney Emoji Blitz was released on July 14, 2016, foriOS andAndroid devices. Approximately 400 emojis were available at launch, across differentDisney andPixar franchises, such asMickey & Friends,Alice in Wonderland,The Little Mermaid,The Lion King,Toy Story,Monsters Inc., andLilo & Stitch, among various others.[6][7] The game would later make its official debut inJapan on April 1, 2020.[8]

Ara Wagoner ofAndroid Central criticized the game's built-in custom emoji keyboard feature, noting its potential, but brought up the "downright terrible" implementation and stating "it's pretty much par for the course for custom emoji packs." She went on further by saying that the character emojis were "relatively easy to navigate, if a little simplistic", and also noted the lack of a search option to find a specific emoji.[9]
