Square Enix Reveals Its Plan To "Reboot" The Company Over The Next Three Years
All of its game titles will be placed "under the management of the same studio," and this will allow all of its in-house knowledge to be "consolidated, accumulated, and shared," Square Enix added. This new approach has also resulted in several in-development games being canceled, as Square Enix decided to focus its resources on funding other projects instead.

Development Team Announcement
We have made the decision to cancel the development of Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link.
We wish to convey our heartfelt apologies to everyone who has been looking forward to the start of service.
Although we worked hard on developing and adjusting the game in the hope that it would be enjoyed by lots of players, we determined that it would be difficult for us to offer a service that players would find satisfactory over a long period of time, leading us to the decision to cancel development.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to everyone who gave us their support and assistance with the multiple closed beta tests. We are truly sorry to have to make this announcement.
The Kingdom Hearts series will continue. We are hard at work on Kingdom Hearts IV, and hope you’ll continue to support the series as you keep an eye out for further updates.

Accord’s Library to remove most of their content after a C&D notice from Square Enix
Accord’s Library is a site that aims to archive and gather all of Yoko Taro’s work.
Full text from their Discord announcement below:
Dearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.
These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.
The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.
We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.
On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.
From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.
Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.
- The Accord's Library Council
Nobuo Uematsu clarifies that he’s NOT retiring completely and will still be doing one off pieces
Full Text:
Wait, wait, wait! Everybody calm down! There seems to be some misunderstanding, but I'm not retiring from video game music work!
I'm going to cut back a bit on my video game music work because I want to have more time to make the music I want to make. It would be difficult for me to take on the entire soundtrack of a video game because the time commitment for composing would be too long, but I would like to continue to work on jobs such as one theme song.
So, we are waiting for your offer to Nobuo Uematsu con TIKI!
Nobuo Uematsu has announced his retirement from video game music
FANTASIAN: Neo Dimension will be his last game.
