If you love the Kingdom Hearts series of role-playing games, which is a sprawling adventure set in a series of worlds from classic Disney films — or if you’ve never heard of it but think that what I just said sounds like the best thing ever — we have some good news for you: It’s coming to mobile.

Developer Square Enix debuted the new entry in its incredibly nerdy series during its event at the Electronic Entertainment Expo tradeshow today, and while the series is already super cute, the iOS installment really kicks that up a few pegs.

Check it out in the trailer below.

Players will create their own characters to play through a story that provides series backstory and will also tie in to the upcoming console-game release, Kingdom Hearts III. Continuing with the customization theme, the press release announcing the game promises “a variety of unique character costumes based on seasonal events and Disney themes.”

So basically, Mickey Mouse ears confirmed.

Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X will be a free-to-play app when it comes out for iOS and Android devices.

And in that case, $0.99 Mickey Mouse ears via in-app purchase all but confirmed.
