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.

Damn, I was ready to exhale that this retarded plot is finally over.
Oh shit, here we go again

 

[Frexxos]

But o boy. Right now the whole story line is so confusing for me. Even with "youtube explaining".

You would play it on stadia?

 

[MasterJ360]

Boi they are taking advantage of that Unreal Engine. The wait will be long as fuk, but we got something.

 

[Axido]

The moment many jobless Germans have waited for.

 

[Velorian]

I don't know what this story is even about anymore, so I don't have the same excitement I once did. It's too all over the place to follow.

 

[Clydefrosch]

to be released in just four hundred short years.

Finally Sora is allowed to grow up

Is he pushing into mid 30s now? He was like 15 in 2002?

never finished 3. half way through and the plot hadn't started yet. I'm usually down for the convoluted nonsense, but not for fluff that has zero barring on anything. dream drop distance was a little like that too.

here's hoping it has more of the good of 2 and far less of the bad of 3. and it gets released before the ps7 or ps8.

 

[The Catboy]

Oh boy! Can’t wait for years of delay followed by disappointment!

 

[Drflash55]

...So, who here is thinking KH IV is gonna be released in 2027?

 

[Jayro]

How about they focus on finishing up the FF7 Remake first?
