A brand new look at Kingdom Hearts 4 could also be imminent.
Disney has confirmed its plans for D23, a Disney-specific conference that covers motion pictures, TV reveals, and something Disney associated. Whilst you can count on updates on a bunch of main tasks, there may be one undertaking that avid gamers are significantly concerned about: Kingdom Hearts 4. Whereas Disney hasn’t explicitly confirmed a brand new look at the sport at D23, it did verify that there shall be an hour-long panel celebrating 25 years of Kingdom Hearts.
“Be part of us for a journey by means of mild and darkness as we commemorate 25 years of Kingdom Hearts,” reads the outline for the panel. “Uncover how this saga united Disney, Pixar, and Sq. Enix, with insights from the artistic minds, character voices, and extra behind the magic.”
It could be fairly shocking in the event that they let a celebratory twenty fifth anniversary panel come and go with out some information on Kingdom Hearts 4… however that is Sq. Enix we’re speaking about. It isn’t remarkable for this firm or franchise to have a missed alternative to advertise a brand new sport. Nonetheless, it does look like we’re getting pretty near its launch.
Final month, Kingdom Hearts 4 received its first trailer in 4 years at a Nintendo Direct. Whereas it did not precisely set the world on hearth with any thoughts blowing new reveals or launch date information, it did present that Sq. Enix is revving up the advertising machine for the sport. Maybe this D23 panel will characteristic a glimpse at new content material within the sport or give us a 2027 launch window. Both manner, we’ll simply should cross our fingers and hope Sq. Enix does not allow us to down.
