Get Ready for Kingdom Hearts 4: Everything You Need to Know!
Hold onto your Keyblades, folks! It’s been a whole year since Square Enix dropped the bombshell that is Kingdom Hearts 4, and let me tell you, the excitement is still fresh in the air. In case you missed it, they unveiled a mind-blowing trailer at the Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary event in Tokyo. Picture a swanky Tokyo apartment, a suave-looking Sora, and a surprise appearance by Strelitzia from Kingdom Hearts Union X. Oh, and let’s not forget our old pals Donald and Goofy hot on Sora’s trail.
Now, before we dive into what’s in store for Kingdom Hearts 4, let’s address the elephant in the room – this game may be called “4,” but it’s actually the 14th installment in the series. Yeah, that’s right, you’ve got thirteen games to catch up on before the big release. But fear not, my friends, because Kingdom Hearts 4 marks the beginning of ‘The Lost Master Arc’, a fresh chapter following the ‘Dark Seeker Saga’. So even if you don’t finish all the previous games, you won’t miss out on the epic adventure that lies ahead.
The Release Date: When Do We Get Our Hands on Kingdom Hearts 4?
Unfortunately, we’re still in the dark about the exact release date for Kingdom Hearts 4. All we know is that it’s in the early stages of development. Now, I can practically hear you mutter, “Please don’t make us wait five years like Kingdom Hearts 3!” Well, my friends, let’s keep our hopes up that Square Enix will bless us with a shorter wait this time around. And in case you needed more proof that it’s still early days, even Goofy’s English voice actor isn’t aware that Kingdom Hearts 4 has been announced! I guess Goofy needs to catch up on the news too!
Which Platforms Will Kingdom Hearts 4 Grace With Its Presence?
The esteemed Square Enix has yet to reveal the platforms for Kingdom Hearts 4. Considering the game is in its infancy, it’ll be a while before we learn where it’ll land. However, given that Kingdom Hearts 3 was released on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and even the Nintendo Switch, let’s keep our fingers crossed that this new adventure will reach every gaming platform out there. But hey, Square Enix isn’t shy when it comes to exclusivity deals, so it’s anyone’s guess at this point. Just remember, Forspoken launched exclusively on PC and PS5, and Final Fantasy 16 is coming exclusively to the PS5 in 2023.
Brace Yourselves: The Kingdom Hearts 4 Trailer!
Get ready to have your mind blown! Square Enix dropped the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer on us during the series’ 20th anniversary celebration in April 2022. And folks, it was an absolute shocker – not just because of the unexpected reveal, but also because of its mind-blowing art style. Say goodbye to the familiar Kingdom Hearts visuals and hello to a photo-realistic Sora, Strelitzia, and even a Darkside heartless. Oh, and don’t panic, we caught a glimpse of Donald and Goofy too!

Unraveling the Story: What’s in Store for Kingdom Hearts 4?
Trying to predict what the Kingdom Hearts 4 story holds is like trying to find Nemo in a sea of heartless. Director Tetsuya Nomura always keeps us guessing! But here’s what we do know – Kingdom Hearts 4 kicks off ‘The Lost Master Arc’, which takes place after the ‘Dark Seeker Saga’ that we experienced in the previous games. Brace yourselves because part of the story unfolds in a mysterious world called Quadratum. This place, neither light nor dark, might just exist outside the realm of reality. Imagine Shibuya in Tokyo, but on a mind-bending scale. What does all this mean for Donald and Goofy? Your guess is as good as mine, my friends.
Worlds to Explore: What Awaits Us in Kingdom Hearts 4?
Buckle up, because Kingdom Hearts 4 will take us on an adventure through various worlds. One of them is the enigmatic Quadratum. Tetsuya Nomura spilled the beans to Game Informer, revealing that Quadratum will serve as the “initial base within the game,” and we’ll venture from there into different realms. But wait, there’s more – Disney worlds are also making a grand return in Kingdom Hearts 4. The details might be under lock and key for now, but rumor has it that a Star Wars-themed world might make an appearance. Can you imagine Sora wielding a lightsaber?
Sora: The Hero We Know and Love!
Get ready to reunite with our beloved spikey-haired hero, Sora! He may look a tad different this time around, but fear not, he’s still the Sora we adore. The Kingdom Hearts 4 Sora brings a more realistic charm to the table. His iconic towering hairstyle has been trimmed down a bit, and those oversized clown shoes have been traded for a sleeker pair that actually fit. But hey, some things never change – Sora will still wield the legendary Kingdom Key keyblade. Ready to embark on another incredible journey with our daredevil guardian of light?
Meet Strelitzia: A New Face in the Kingdom Hearts Universe!
During that mind-blowing trailer, Square Enix introduced a mysterious character named Strelitzia. Now, if you’ve played Kingdom Hearts Union X, you might recognize this enigmatic maiden. Strelitzia is a keyblade wielder, and her story takes place years before Sora, Donald, and Goofy formed their iconic trio. How she crosses paths with Sora in Kingdom Hearts 4 is still a mystery, but be prepared for an unforgettable encounter.
Final Fantasy: A Question Mark in Kingdom Hearts 4
Now, if you’re a die-hard Kingdom Hearts fan, you may have noticed the absence of Final Fantasy characters in Kingdom Hearts 3. Don’t worry, you weren’t dreaming! But what does this mean for the future of Final Fantasy in Kingdom Hearts? It’s a question that even Tetsuya Nomura can’t answer right now. So let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for epic crossovers in Kingdom Hearts 4. We could all use another cameo from Cloud Strife or Sephiroth, am I right?
Gameplay Goodness: What Can We Expect in Kingdom Hearts 4?
While it’s too early to reveal all the gameplay intricacies of Kingdom Hearts 4, the trailer did give us a tantalizing peek behind the curtain. Rest assured, all our favorite mechanics will make a comeback, including flowmotion and powerful magical spells. Sora’s trusty keyblade will once again be put to good use, and this time, he’s even using the keychain as a grappling hook!
