![]() He finishes by saying that if Sora decides to leave that world, he shouldn’t expect to go back to the one he came from.Īfter the title drop, we get a tiny bit more footage of Donald and Goofy wandering around a pitch black environment looking for someone only referred to as “he” that they hope can help them. Sora, the hero at heart that he is, rushes in to do battle, summoning his iconic Keyblade.Īs the fight comes to an end, the voiceover continues and we see two cloaked figures wearing the same black coats as Organization XIII once did. The black mass from before returns, now forming into a more disfigured version of something like the Darkside enemy from past games, terrorizing the people on the street and lifting cars with dark powers. I think the theme of this project will be the contrast between those who are in such different positions.” This seems to be pointing towards the fact that this world was seen in Kingdom Hearts 3 as the fictional location of a fake game inside the Toy Story world called Verum Rex. But from the point of view of the inhabitants on the Quadratum side, the world of Quadratum is reality, and the world where Sora and the others were is the other side, the fictional world. “From Sora’s perspective, Quadratum is an underworld, a fictional world that is different from reality. During an interview with Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura commented on what this new world was stating. She describes the world as something like an “after world” for people like them, perhaps implying that she isn’t from Quadratum either. He opens his door to a mysterious red-haired girl named Strelitzia (apparently an important character in Kingdom Hearts Union Cross) who fills him in on the fact that he’s been sleeping for a full week since he appeared in that world. We cut to Sora for the first time, asleep on a couch, sporting a new outfit. New footage of another amazingly realized forest location, with a waterfall and river, is shown. Meanwhile, a giant dark mass forms in the sky before we cut to more text stating: “The heart resides within the soul, which in turn is guided by fate to its rightful place.” Apparently talking to Sora, the voice advises him to leave that world if he’s too full of despair. A voiceover, which is hard to place as familiar due to it being in Japanese, talks in typical cryptic Kingdom Hearts style. We see some breathtaking shots of the same modern-day city, heavily inspired by Tokyo, we saw briefly in the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts III, which we learn is named Quadratum. Once we get to the Kingdom Hearts IV section, we open with the direct message of this being The Lost Master Arc. Even so, there’s quite a bit of interesting stuff packed in this short teaser at the end of a series of trailers. ![]() The announcement trailer from the 20th anniversary event in Japan is, so far, all we have in terms of footage. Given the minimum two years we predict before this game comes out, we should be far enough past the PS4 and Xbox One to have fully dedicated current-gen games. We won’t know for sure until later, but we think this could easily come to all platforms - maybe even Switch via streaming - simultaneously or close to it.Īside from that, this should be a current-gen exclusive. Past games in the series have also recently been ported to Xbox and PC, and it seems like the point of bringing the entire series to these new platforms was to build up those audiences for a new Kingdom Hearts IV. The Kingdom Hearts series has traditionally been PlayStation only, but Kingdom Hearts III launched on both Xbox One and PS4 and came to Switch and PC later. ![]() There are no platforms announced for Kingdom Hearts IV yet. Either way, it wouldn’t be the first time we got a trailer way, way in advance of a Kingdom Hearts game actually coming out. While that transfer is supposedly not too difficult, it will probably take some time and create some setbacks in the process. On the other hand, there are reports that the game is currently using Unreal Engine 4 but is planning on switching to Unreal Engine 5. On one hand, we do see what looks to be real (though clearly early) gameplay in the trailer. In our hearts, we don’t see this game coming out before 2024. ![]() There’s not even a window of what year Square Enix thinks this title might be ready. The big downer for the reveal of Kingdom Hearts IV is that no release date was given. The 10 best JRPGs of all time developed by Japanese studios.Everything we know about Final Fantasy 16.
