There hasn’t been a release date set yet
It’s official: the next numbered entry in theĀ Kingdom HeartsĀ series is on the way.Ā Kingdom Hearts IVĀ is officially confirmed to be in early development.
The news came as part of the series’ 20th anniversary celebration. Square Enix and Disney showed off the trailer as the cap-off of a multi-game showcase. You can find the whole run, with English subtitles, below:
Kingdom Hearts IVĀ will follow a new storyline for Sora, Donald, and Goofy, dubbed the “Lost Master Arc.” In the trailer, we see Sora wake up in a surprisingly more realistic world than normal. A girlāwho appears to be Strelitziaāgreets Sora and informs him he’s been asleep since he arrived in this world seven days prior.
It’s revealed that they’re in Quadratum, the world seen in the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts IIIĀ andĀ Re MindĀ DLC. A massive Heartless soon shows up, and Sora sets off to fight it, where we get to see some gameplay as well.
There are some hooded, mysterious figures, and even a final tease of Donald and Goofy. Possibly Hades fromĀ Hercules, too? That’s what I assume when I see blue and red flames like that, anyways.
Dive into the Hearts
Kingdom Hearts IVĀ wasn’t the only news today, though. Square Enix also showed offĀ Kingdom HeartsĀ Missing-Link, a new game for iOS and Android where players embark on adventures and fight battles against the Heartless. There seems to be a system where the player character uses figures of popularĀ KHĀ characters for special attacks, too. A closed beta is planned for 2022.
The final chapter ofĀ Kingdom Hearts Dark RoadĀ is also set for August 2022, as a free update toĀ Kingdom Hearts Union Ļ Dark Road.
An announcement of a newĀ Kingdom HeartsĀ is pretty exciting, with the most recent numbered entry only having launched in 2019. It took many long years to get fromĀ Kingdom Hearts IIĀ toĀ III, so the hope is that the wait forĀ Kingdom Hearts IVĀ won’t be so long. Square Enix hasn’t set a release date or window just yet, though. Either way, hopes are high forĀ Kingdom HeartsĀ fans’ futures.
