New Kingdom Hearts IV Screenshots Released

The pre rendered scenes like Strelitizia in the middle and Sora in the bottom right look gorgeous.
The actual gameplay scene up top looks a little rough, the shadows look especially out of place and flat to me. But it may be because of the fact that they're in a still frame. The other 2 gameplay ones look good though.
Seems like it's quite a ways a way until we get the game, but it's nice that they're giving us an update without showing too much. I hope they keep this energy up until they have a set release date in mind.

After three years of being off the KH13 site, three years and 1,131 days of no new Kingdom Hearts IV news we finally got some new news and Images for Kingdom Hearts IV. All I can say from the new images that they look fantastic, and I'm so impressed with the graphics and images of Sora, Strelitzia and King Mickey look in the Unreal Engine 5 compared to the first KHIV trailer released at the 20th Anniversary event 3 years ago.

There's no doubt a new trailer for KHIV is imminent, and we will get it sometime next month in June during Summer Games Fest and I predict judging by the progress and graphics for Kingdom Hearts IV that it might come out sometime in 2026 likely mid-late 2026.

You think you can just do this? You think you can just do this to me and get away with it, Nomura? 

(Sora stands in a parking lot in a very, very modern city.)
Does this mean he has learned how to drive??

That aside, I'm still looking forward to what Disney-based worlds shall appear.  The earlier trailer hinted that Olympus might return (Donald and Goofy seemed to have been seeking out Hades for help), yet I am mostly interested in where the trio's travels shall take them this time.  I doubt we shall spend the whole game in the one world.

Now that I am stating it, I wonder if we shall see worlds based upon the live action adaptations of the animated films.  It could work, considering how this is a relatively new section of the KH universe.  Only time shall tell . . . . . . .

If you tap on the image and then press the arrow to the right of the image you'll see almost the same image with Japanese text, except the top screenshot looks different and the lighting looks better in it.

there we go a little bit of new info.

I've pointed this out in the past, but after two year-long time skips since KH1, it's likely that Sora is at least 16 years old! As a result, he could learn to drive, which is terrifying. Imagine those clown shoes trying to hit the brakes.
