Kingdom Hearts 4 announcement
The next mainline Kingdom Hearts game, Kingdom Hearts 4, is now in development, Square Enix announced Sunday during a 20th anniversary livestream for the franchise. A new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 confirms the return of Sora, Donald, and Goofy for a brand-new adventure, and what Square Enix calls “an epic new storyline” named the Lost Master Arc.
Kingdom Hearts 4’s first trailer introduces the Quadratum, which, while looking a lot like Tokyo, is described by Square Enix as an “expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world unlike anything ever seen before in the Kingdom Hearts series.” The trailer also introduces Kingdom Hearts fans to Strelitzia, a new character.
Square Enix also announced a separate game, Kingdom Hearts Missing Link, in development for Android and iOS devices. The mobile game features adventures set in the world of Scala ad Caelum from Kingdom Hearts 3 and battles against the Heartless. Kingdom Hearts Missing Link will feature a new, original story, Square Enix says, but will almost assuredly tie into the story of Kingdom Hearts 4. Kingdom Hearts Missing Link does not have a release date, but a closed beta test for the game is scheduled for 2022.
