> TOKYO, JAPAN (April 10, 2022) – Today, as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the KINGDOM HEARTS franchise, SQUARE ENIX® and Disney announced that KINGDOM HEARTS IV, the newest installment in the beloved RPG series, is in early development, and also revealed a brand-new mobile game, KINGDOM HEARTS Missing-Link.

it being in early dev make me think its a 2028 release but who know

can be a 2025 release

It looks they’re reusing the KH3 engine. Might not take that long.

They're moving on to Unreal Engine 5

According to someone that was at the presentation

Surely that can’t be that big of a leap

Well if this is anything

Not as a big of leap from their in house engine to UE4

Just remember this compared to KH3

Definitely not, but I imagine the final product will look significantly smoother

Luminous....... yuck

It's the same code, just more power

I mean, I’m in no hurry. Let them take all the time they need to polish.

Plus, compared to KH3, Nomura probably waited until they were in full gear to announce it instead of teasing it way too early

I'm just sad that we didn't get Chain of Memories 2

yeah everyone regretted that one

Rn SE got FF7R2, FF16, and KH4 to spread out with FF16 being first

it's funny how we stiII have nothing new for 16

Good to see they learned their lesson

l hope that game's okay

seriousIy!!

I'd say next month

in regards to 16.... i think they are waiting for forspoken to release first then 16 can get all the attention

Apparently it was stated that KH4 will not appear at E3

Nah

E3 is cancelled so yeah no E3

Oh, is it?

He said spring they showing it and that game got delayed
