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.
