As part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, Square Enix and Disney have announced that the next installment, Kingdom Hearts IV, is in early development. An announcement trailer was aired for the occasion:

​

In the announcement trailer, Sora makes a triumphant return with an updated look at the beginning of an epic new storyline titled the “Lost Master Arc.” Beginning with Sora facing off in a boss battle against a giant enemy, players are introduced to the Quadratum, a large, expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world unlike anything ever seen before in the KINGDOM HEARTS series. Fans will be excited to see the return of Sora’s well-known companions Donald and Goofy, in addition to the first appearance of Strelitzia, a mysterious new character who appears before Sora in this strange new setting.

Also announced today is the brand-new mobile game, Kingdom Hearts Missing Link, which is set to launch on Android and iOS devices as a closed beta sometime this year in specific locations.

Given that Kingdom Hearts IV is in early development, not much else is known about the launch window or the platforms it will launch on at this time.

The last thing has been an issue in comics for literal decades. If you want straight forward story that doesn't require you to read another series with the same character (or a sidekick), or wait months for the plot of what you just read to continue then read graphic novels or manga. It's not a new thing that one issue of a comic continues the story of a dozen or more issues before. Just because 30-somethings are finally noticing it doesn't mean it's something new.

Spoken like someone willing to shell out asinine amounts of money to have "muh story". If you're willing to continue supporting that practice when it's been talked about a million times over how it's just antiquated and unnecessary in this day and age, then you're a shill more so than a fan.

I don't like comics because of that. But it's not a recent problem at all.

Oh, my bad, sorry to have been an ass; and no, yeah, I know it's not something new, it was a problem when I was young in the 90's, it deterred me then and it deters me now.
