To celebrate Halloween, Square Enix has revealed a new Kingdom Hearts illustration by character designer and series director Tetsuya Nomura. The new Kingdom Hearts illustration depicts Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their special attire from Halloween Town, which is based on The Nightmare before Christmas.
Previously, Square Enix shared new development screenshots of Kingdom Hearts IV and released a message to fans. The developers are hard at work for Kingdom Hearts IV in order to create a game that lives up to fan’s expectations. According to Nomura, development of Kingdom Hearts IV is progressing smoothly.
Square Enix canceled development of Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link, since it was determined that it would be difficult for the developers to offer a service that would be satisfactory for players. Although Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link has been canceled, Square Enix is still developing Kingdom Hearts IV.
Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link was revealed alongside the highly-anticipated Kingdom Hearts IV during the 20th anniversary event in April 2022. Similarly to Kingdom Hearts Dark Road, Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link was supposed to tell a story that bridges the gap between plot threads long before Sora’s journey in the original game. Before its cancellation, the game was delayed back in November 2024.
Lastly, platforms and a release date for Kingdom Hearts IV have not been announced yet.
