Square Enix has announced that Kingdom Hearts IV will launch day-and-date on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A new teaser trailer for Kingdom Hearts IV was released alongside several new screenshots.
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 also announced that the Kingdom Hearts series is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] on October 8. A demo for Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind will be available today. Pre-orders for Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III] will open today, and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX will be natively on Nintendo Switch as well.
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.
