Square Enix revealed Kingdom Hearts 4 over three years ago, and since then, not much has been said about the game… until now.
Kingdom Hearts 4 development is “progressing smoothly,” says creative director Tetsuya Nomura
During the recently streamed Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis 2nd Anniversary broadcast, creative director Tetsuya Nomura said that development for both Kingdom Hearts 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake’s third entry is “progressing smoothly” (H/T Gematsu).
“Right, so, looking at the comments, I’m seeing people ask every so often about the third entry in the [Final Fantasy VII] Remake series,” Nomura said. “Apparently, [co-director Motomu] Toriyama mentioned in an interview that something might be released around the second anniversary [of Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis]. So that’s probably where those expectations are coming from. Right, so things are progressing really smoothly. I can’t really say more—if I suddenly went, ‘Well, actually…,’ everyone would be really surprised! (Laughs.)”
“So yeah, things are moving along really smoothly, and the release timing has already been decided. We’re moving forward according to that schedule right now, so please rest assured and be patient.”
“And this has also come up in the comments here and there, but Kingdom Hearts IV is likewise steadily moving forward according to schedule, so please look forward to it.”
As mentioned earlier, Kingdom Hearts 4 was officially announced back in April 2022 as part of the series’ 20th anniversary celebration. The trailer featured an updated look for the series’ protagonist, Sora, as well as a look at what players could expect from its gameplay. Earlier this year, several new screenshots for the game were shown, two of which actually looked like gameplay.
It’s not surprising that we have yet to get more details about Kingdom Hearts 4. Back when the game was revealed, Nomura said it would “take some time” before more details were announced.
