{{Q|That's the story of the King of Truth. Reclaim your heart.|Tagline}}
'''''Verum Rex''''' (Latin for "True King") is a fictional video game set in [[Quadratum]] that exists in [[Toy Box]], a world from ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' based on ''{{w|Toy Story}}''. Developed by {{w|Square Enix}} for the Play Plus video game console, the game is part of a franchise including a cartoon series, a toyline, and a demo named ''[[Verum Rex: Beat of Lead]]'', which serves as one of the mini-games in ''Kingdom Hearts III''.

==Development==
After the conclusion of the [[Dark Seeker Saga]], Nomura considered ''Verum Rex'' as the next game in the series and discussed it with series co-director Yasushi Yasue. In the end, Nomura decided on ''[[Kingdom Hearts IV]]'' to be the next game in development because it'd be difficult to develop two big console games at the same time.<ref>[https://www.famitsu.com/news/202204/11257883.html '''''famitsu''': 『キングダム ハーツ4』続報はいつ？ UE5での開発やヨゾラが登場する『VERUM REX』の話題も'']</ref>
