Kingdom Hearts 4 announced in Nintendo Direct

gamingJun 9, 20261042,994

Square Enix unveiled Kingdom Hearts IV during Nintendo Direct, debuting a cinematic trailer that opens with Sora walking through a photorealistic, Tokyo-like district called Quadratum. The trailer shows Sora in modern clothing, emphasizes more realistic visuals, and introduces unfamiliar hostile creatures alongside his Keyblade. Kingdom Hearts IV is the next mainline entry after Kingdom Hearts III and continues the franchise's crossover of Disney and Square Enix worlds. This matters because the shift in tone and setting sets up resolution of long-running plotlines and represents a major new direction for the series.

In addition to that, I feel like I'm in 2017/2018 again because here's a KH Reaction/Breakdown! A video of my reaction to seeing the first KH4 trailer in 4 years and a Deep Dive breakdown as I squeeze as much info out of this teaser as possible. youtu.be/-zYvevT8SDQ

Seeing some people calling the direct "Alright" or "Mediocre" felt absurd when the show was so mind-blowing and overwhelming to me lmao.

Showing Kingdom Hearts IV is alive and then following it up with “and here’s our announcement, a Zelda remake with like one troubling looking shot” is kinda nuts man.

The Direct had me a bit worried in the beginning but it picked up big time. My highlights: - Xenoblade, all of it - Huge Capcom support - Sports Resort with WUHU ISLAND - Muramasa, long awaited port - Final Fantasy Resonance - Metaphor - Rise of the Tomb Raider - Kingdom Hearts IV - Zelda obviously
