In an interview with Famitsu, Square Enix director Tetsuya Nomura teased plans for the Kingdom Hearts’ 20th Anniversary in 2022! In addition, he states that the Kingdom Hearts team is already working on their next new project. Check out what Nomura had to say, courtesy of Gematsu:
—I want to ask about the future of the series. The “Dark Seeker” story ended with Kingdom Hearts III, but not every mystery has come to light and the secret movie suggests there are still new developments to come. What does the future of the Kingdom Hearts series look like?
Nomura: “Kingdom Hearts will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2022, you know.”
—That’s true.
Nomura: “That being said… I’m working hard towards the 20th anniversary. (Laughs.) I myself have already switched to thinking about the next work, and the Kingdom Hearts team has already started working on something new. Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory came just before we started working on the next title, so the main staff was able to assist. When we’re able to announce something in the future, I think it will be full of surprises, so please look forward to it.”
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory releases on November 13th for PS4, Xbox One and Switch. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
