Kingdom Hearts II
Will first approaches Sora, Donald, and Goofy after the town is cleared of Heartless and tells them about Elizabeth Swann's kidnapping. Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Will approach Captain Jack Sparrow and ask him to sail them all to the Isla de Muerta, where the pirates have taken Elizabeth. Jack and Will sneak in the cave, but Will knocks Jack out an oar and renders him unconscious. Will gets Elizabeth away from the pirates and takes her back to the boat where Sora and company are waiting they then set sail for Port Royal, leaving Jack behind.

While mending Elizabeth's wound, Will learns that the pirates need his blood, not Elizabeth's, to lift the curse after Elizabeth retells the story of how she found Will. The Black Pearl catches up to the Interceptor and in order to save his friends, Will threatens to take his own life if Barbossa doesn't let them go. Barbossa agrees, but ties everyone up in the captain's quarters aboard the Interceptor and places explosives and Heartless on the deck. Jack sets them all free with his hidden knife and with Sora's help, manages to save the ship and give chase to the pirates. On the island, Sora, Jack, Donald, and Goofy defeat Barbossa and Will lifts the curse so Jack can finally kill him. Barbossa's crew members are either killed or thrown in jail and Jack, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Will, and Elizabeth sail back to Port Royal and Will and Elizabeth share an embrace.

Prior to the trio's second visit, Port Royal is once again haunted by cursed pirates (and Nobodies). Will gathers volunteers and they sail to the Isle De Muerta to check on the treasure. Upon arriving, Will's crew is wiped out by a mysterious man in a black coat and his cohorts. Will, almost dead, makes it back to the boat and attempts to sail back home.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive, and Elizabeth asks them to sail with her to go find Will. After Jack tags along, they find Will's ship floating in the middle of the ocean and Will unconscious. After Will explains what happened, Luxord appears and summons the Grim Reaper, which blows Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack to another ship. After the ship sinks, they end up in the ship graveyard where they are picked up by Will and Elizabeth. They all sail around the world's locations to locate the medallions Luxord stole.

After Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack defeat the Grim Reaper, Will and the others throw the chest with the cursed gold into the sea, thereby lifting the curse and assuring it will never be brought about again.

Kingdom Hearts III
Will goes with Elizabeth, Barbossa, Joshamee Gibbs and Tia Dalma to Davy Jones' Locker in order to rescue Jack, after Davy Jones sent the Kraken after him. There, Will and the others reunite with Jack, Sora, Donald, and Goofy, all aboard the Black Pearl. Will and Elizabeth inform them in on the situation and that the Brethren Court has been called, after some convincing, Jack agrees to set sail with them. Once they return to the living world, the Pearl is attacked by the Heartless. Though Sora defeats them, he, along with Donald and Goofy, become separated. Sometime later, Will finds himself captured by Davy Jones.

On a small island, Will is brought along by Cutler Beckett and Davy Jones. There, the three of them meet with Elizabeth, Jack and Barbossa. Elizabeth tries to exchange Will's slavery for Jack's, which works and Jack is taken along with Beckett and Jones. Will and Elizabeth then reunite with Sora, Donald and Goofy.

After a series of events, Will ends up being stabbed by Davy Jones, causing Elizabeth to become distraught. However, Will, with the help of everyone else, was able to stab Davy Jones' heart, killing Davy. This allowed Will to persist on, although the price was for him to become the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. In addition, he could only visit Elizabeth only one day every decade.

Sometime after Xehanort's defeat, Will leaves on his ship as he looks back at Elizabeth, who watches him from afar.
