Four long years after it was announced, we finally have some idea when we’ll be able to play Kingdom Hearts 4<\/a>. At Disney’s D23 fan event, Square Enix revealed that the sequel will arrive sometime in late 2027.<\/p>\n

That isn’t everything new that Square Enix had in store for fans either. The reveal was accompanied by a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 that showed off a new world the sequel will take players to\u2014Coco’s colourful land of the dead. The trailer shows Sora fighting enemies in the crowd of a concert and riding sky rails, as Mickey, Goofy and Hades strive to reunite with the series’ errant hero after he disappeared at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Obviously, it would have been nice if Square Enix had committed to a specific date. But even having some <\/em>idea of when the game will be released is a big deal after years of near-total radio silence from Square Enix. It was only in June<\/a> that we received our first glimpse of the game since the sequel was announced in 2022<\/a>, so going from that to knowing roughly when we’ll be able to play it in the space of two months is quite the surprise.<\/p>\n
