Series director Tetsuya Nomura teased the game in a question-and-answer interview held to celebrate the release of Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind. Odin sends the six of them to go in groups of three to find the missing Keyblade wielders. There, they reunite with their classmates, Hermod, Urd, Bragi, and Vor, and learn from their master, Odin, that seven upper classmen have disappeared while preparing for the Mark of Mastery Exam. Joking that he perhaps fell from the sky, Xehanort suggests they go to class. Eraqus, a fellow Keyblade wielder and friend, approaches and asks him about the world where he's from, and Xehanort recalls that he only remembers being found in Scala ad Caelum. Sometime later, Xehanort is in Scala ad Caelum, training to be a Keyblade wielder. Pondering on these things, he's approached by a robed, mysterious figure who confirms Xehanort's suspicions of a world beyond his own, and opens a dark corridor allowing him to leave the islands. On Destiny Islands, a young Xehanort has been having dreams of a world and friends he's never seen.
