A few years ago, we heard that Kingdom Hearts IV was on the way. And, right after that announcement, it seemed like things went almost radio silent about this next installment. Sure, there was a trailer back then but there was no firm release date or much else to chew on. Fast forward to June 2026, and Square Enix finally gave us a gameplay trailer for Kingdom Hearts IV.
Now, we still don’t have a release date for it yet. But Kingdom Hearts I-III will come to Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8. We can’t imagine this release would be too far behind that, especially after being in the works for so many years.
And, the franchise’s 25th anniversary is coming up in March 2027, so that could be a target release date for Kingdom Hearts IV, which has fans buzzing right now with that trailer.
In it, we go to Quadratum, complete with rain-soaked streets, high rise buildings, and Heartless. Sora swings from building to building with a Keyblade for a lot of straight up action. One foe even looks very kaiju in nature. Overall it’s a taste of what you can expect in this next installment that will hopefully be available before you know it.
