Verum Rex was originally referred to asInvictus in early development with Quadratum depicted as a vibrant neon city.[1]
After the conclusion of theDark Seeker Saga, Nomura consideredVerum Rex as the next game in the series and discussed it with series co-director Yasushi Yasue. In the end, Nomura decided onKingdom Hearts IV to be the next game in development because it'd be difficult to develop two big console games at the same time.[2]
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
- "That's the story of the King of Truth. Reclaim your heart.
After a long fight, weapons have brought great benefits for humanity.
But the "KARMA" that sleeps in humans will accelerate further.
In the light of the warhead in the night sky, they chose to fight while feeling the pain of their hearts...
A journey without a place to return.
The world is to all humans to turn a page.
What is eternal bond." - —Verum Rex game box
