Over the weekend, SQUARE ENIX and Disney & Pixar Games shared the release window for the highly anticipated action-RPG Kingdom Hearts IV. A new trailer also accompanied the announcement, revealing the new in-game world inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Coco.



KINGDOM HEARTS IV follows protagonist Sora and some familiar characters as they journey though the mysterious city of Quadratum, where dark creatures known as the Heartless are causing havoc. In the next chapter of the beloved series, Sora will once again journey to various worlds inspired by Disney and Pixar, where new figures cross his path and new powers awaken.

In addition to these reveals, it was announced that 'Kingdom Hearts' (working title), an original anime series for Disney Channel and Disney+, is in development in collaboration with Tetsuya Nomura and the creative team at SQUARE ENIX.

Kingdom Hearts IV will release in late 2027. It will be available for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, XBOX Series X|S and PC and is available to wish list now.

Nomura also made it clear that it won't get delayed past late 2027. Take it with a grain of salt, but it looks like the game has progressed a lot further than expected.

It's my favorite series of all time so I'm stoked for this!
same here, playing it since the first game...i was 7 years old, now i am 31 lmao
 
I just want to see this story finish already. I’ve literally (not even misusing literally) spent the majority of my life waiting for this story to finish
I was in high school when KH4 was announced. Since then, I've played through the entire franchise and almost earned a college degree. And the game still isn't out.

We will both be disappointed.
IV looks like yet another UE5 Techdemo.. and if they cram the ""story"" in the last game hour I will buy the game a second time as GameWTFKeyCard and eat it

If Shimomura ever pulls a MichiruYamane, KH will fall into a hole...

Nomura be like:
"We learned from KHIII, Team Osaka pinky promised me they will not try employing the CommandDeck again and the story is already done (I copied FFVII's homework)"

KHI to KHII was much smoother and an insane step up.
IV ?.. I'm not holding my breath.
At least the first mainline entry to simultan release on a Nintendo..

A lil bit of a dream come true.

Thanks Sony for self destructing

I wish I could be upset but I just want to see the story end. Just no longer continue.

I want to see One Piece end, but it's still ongoing currently on episode 1174, ugh.

Well, back to KH, I've always wanted to play it and there's releases with all the games to make it easier so why not. At least it's not nearly 2000 episodes. 🤣
