Kingdom Hearts 4 Gets Rare Update Amid Ongoing Silence

by

Square Enix recently shared some fresh insights about the highly anticipated title, Kingdom Hearts 4 , as its production moves forward. This game was initially announced way back in 2022, but since then, updates on KH4 have been scarce. In fact, except for a single trailer, there hasn’t been much substantial news about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts installment for over three years. However, fans eagerly waiting for any information have received a long-awaited update in the form of a new statement from director Tetsuya Nomura in 2025.

During a recent live stream, Nomura addressed fan queries concerning the current state of Kingdom Hearts 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake’s third installment. Nomura hinted that the development of Kingdom Hearts 4 is progressing as planned, while also mentioning that the same goes for the third entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. Although there has been a lack of updates on both projects, Nomura emphasized that there are no significant issues occurring during the development process. This information should help alleviate concerns among fans who have been anxiously awaiting news about these titles.

What This Means for Kingdom Hearts 4’s Release Date

It’s thrilling to catch some updates on Kingdom Hearts 4 from Nomura, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like we’re any closer to knowing when the game will be released. The information about KH4 is scarce, and Square Enix hasn’t specified which platforms the game will be available on yet. Given this, a release in 2025 or even 2026 appears doubtful at the moment.

If we follow the pattern of Kingdom Hearts 3’s release schedule, the last game was announced in 2013 and came out in early 2019. Using this timeline as a guide, Kingdom Hearts 4 might not be released until around 2027 or 2028. While that’s quite some time away, a release in either of those years would give Square Enix ample opportunity to publicize the game before it hits the shelves – a strategy they have employed for previous installments as well.

Instead of having such a long wait for the launch of Kingdom Hearts 4, we’ll likely hear more about the game soon. This could be in the form of a fresh trailer, or even new images/artwork, and at this stage, anything would delight Kingdom Hearts enthusiasts. Since The Game Awards are scheduled for early December, it’s possible that this event might provide some significant updates on the upcoming installment in the beloved action-RPG series.

I’d like to hear your opinions on the ongoing mystery surrounding the potential release of Kingdom Hearts 4. When do you believe it might come out? Feel free to share your thoughts below!
