Character	Description
Sora-2	Following the death of Sora in the final battle with Xehanort, Sora-2, a perfect clone of Sora, was created by King Mickey over the events of the games following Kingdom Hearts III. Sora-2 (sometimes referred to as 2ora or Tora) is the wielder of the Keyblade and is able to use magic powers as well as transformations.
Huey Duck	Huey joins Sora-2 and Goofy in hopes that he can avenge Donald's death by taking down his mysterious killer. Huey takes after Donald in that he is a magic user, but unlike Donald, he's good at dodging attacks and isn't knocked out quite as easily thanks to his constant use of defensive maneuvers and spells. He's a helpful addition to the party.
Goofy	Goofy is the same as ever. Using his shield, Goofy doubles as a strong defensive and offensive character, though range certainly isn't his specialty, and he only uses physical attacks as opposed to Huey and Sora-2, who can both utilize magic. Nevertheless, his strength will help the party throughout the journey.
Yzma Kuzconian Empire	TBA
Kronk Kuzconian Empire	TBA

Worlds

World	Description
Twilight Town	TBA
Kuzconian Empire The Emperor's New Groove	The Kuzconian Empire is the first world Sora-2, Huey, and Goofy visit after departing from Twilight Town. Upon arrival, the three see a palace ahead of them which they immediately run up to, expecting to find the emperor there. They greet the emperor, Kuzco, who is discussing with a man named Pacha who does not want his home to be destroyed in favor of the grandiose summer home of Kuzcotopia. Kuzco dismisses Pacha and then allows Sora-2 to speak, warning Kuzco of the invasion of the Heartless. However, Kuzco does not seem to care, and he leaves to work on his plans for Kuzcotopia. Sora-2, Huey, and Goofy sigh and begin to exit before they are interrupted by the sorceress Yzma, who says she wants to "get rid of Kuzco" in favor of someone who will properly run the empire, convincing the three to team up with her and her henchman Kronk to replace Kuzco so that the Heartless can be taken care of.
Todayland Meet the Robinsons	Sora-2, Huey, and Goofy accidentally fly the Gummi Ship through a wormhole and travel through time on their way to this world, crash landing in the garage of a building in Todayland, a futuristic city. Upon crashing, the robot Carl comes to investigate and panics upon finding the intruders. Sora-2 tells Carl that the crash landing was an accident, and they ask if he knows anyone who can fix their ship before noticing that the Heartless followed them. After taking out some Heartless, a time machine suddenly warps into the garage, and two young boys, Wilbur and Lewis, pop out, causing Carl to panic again. After calming Carl down and introducing himself, Wilbur tells the group that Lewis can fix both the time machine and the Gummi Ship after giving him blueprints, but Sora-2 suddenly notices that the Heartless seem to be following a strange man with a bowler hat. Wilbur and Carl agree to help Sora-2 chase him, noticing that he also has a time machine and leaving Lewis to repair the ships.
Olympus Coliseum Hercules	Olympus Coliseum returns yet again as a gauntlet where you fight waves of enemies.
Motunui Moana	TBA
Gusteau's Ratatouille	TBA
Sky High Sky High	TBA
Lava Springs High School Musical 2	TBA
Disney Castle	Disney Castle returns, and, like Kingdom Hearts II, it serves as a gateway to a few other worlds. In addition to housing the return of II's Timeless River, this world also now lets you access the new world of Wasteland, based off of Epic Mickey.
Wasteland Epic Mickey	TBA
Timeless River Steamboat Willie	Timeless River returns from Kingdom Hearts II.
Tipton Hotel The Suite Life of Zack & Cody	TBA
Radiant Gardens	TBA
Haunted Mansion The Haunted Mansion	TBA

Neverland Peter Pan	Neverland returns from Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, though this incarnation is closer to how it appeared in Birth by Sleep.
Pixie Hollow Tinker Bell	Though the Tinker Bell series canonically takes place before the titular fairy meets Peter Pan, Pixie Hollow here is set after Peter Pan instead. It does take inspiration from the movies in Tinker Bell's series, but is not based on one in particular.
Nye Laboratories Bill Nye the Science Guy	TBA
Long Term Memory Inside Out	TBA

Trivia

• This is the first Kingdom Hearts game to feature worlds based on television shows and films that first aired on Disney Channel.
  • This game is also the first to feature worlds from games outside of the Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy series, as the Wasteland is taken from the Epic Mickey series.
