Fans of the Kingdom Hearts titles are used to waiting extremely long times between mainline releases.

Contents After Kingdom Hearts 2 on the PlayStation 2, the series veered into spinoff territory, with no proper sequel for the entire PS3 generation. Finally, in 2019, we got the long-awaited conclusion to what we would learn was the Dark Seeker Saga. However, in typical Kingdom Hearts fashion, the end of the saga was by no means the end of the story for Sora, Riku, Kairi, and all their Disney and Final Fantasy friends.

Platforms There are no platforms announced for Kingdom Hearts 4 yet. The Kingdom Hearts series has traditionally been PlayStation only, but Kingdom Hearts 3 launched on both Xbox One and PS4 and came to Switch and PC later. Past games in the series have also recently been ported to Xbox and PC, and it seems like the point of bringing the entire series to these new platforms was to build up those audiences for a new Kingdom Hearts 4.

New footage of another amazingly realized forest location, with a waterfall and river, is shown. We cut to Sora for the first time, asleep on a couch, sporting a new outfit. He opens his door to a mysterious red-haired girl named Strelitzia who fills him in on the fact that he’s been sleeping for a full week since he appeared in that world. She describes the world as something like an “after world” for people like them, perhaps implying that she isn’t from Quadratum either.

After the title drop, we get a tiny bit more footage of Donald and Goofy wandering around a pitch-black environment looking for someone only referred to as “he” that they hope can help them. A blue flame sparks behind them, catching their attention, before a voice asks where they think they’re going. The pair appear frightened already, but freak out after turning around and the blue fire erupts into a red blaze.In terms of story, well, things are complicated.

Nomura had more to say on what the pair are doing, plus commented on Sora’s new design as well. “Donald and Goofy are looking for clues about Sora in the original world,” he explained. “All the real worlds before the title display are all Quadratum segments and Sora will look realistic, but if he can return to the original world, he will look like Donald and Goofy with shaders like Donald and Goofy.

First, the slow-motion style of movement from Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III is back, but smoother than ever. Sora leaps, spins, slides, and even uses his Keyblade as a grappling hook to seamlessly glide around the city environment. Quicktime events, or reaction commands may be, seem to be coming back. We see Sora counter the giant heartless’s punch by transforming his Keyblade into a drill, hinting that form changes will also be coming back, before launching it like a missile.
