Kingdom Hearts 4 Has A Release Window

[@12397bmw]

[@MatthewBrown-bk8by]

I don't mind waiting. I'm actually going back through the games trying to beat them on their toughest difficult. Plus getting a release window 1 1/2 years away is a good thing. It gives the fans time to save up the money so that when we get the official release date the fans can go and pre-order their copy of the game. I'm hoping to get to $100 before the release date is revealed so that I can pre-order the deluxe edition. Wish me luck

[@Wheeliam_Ironside]

Sadly from how i understand it…these super early reveal trailers we get for games that have years of development left have a lot to do with a call to arms to bring in developers for the project. Though it has us drooling it’s not totally meant for the average consumer as much as it is for advertising jobs for the project

[@roadtodawn8088]

If we want to compare it to a similar stage for KH3, we are at the 2017 stage, which was the year we heard stuff again after hearing pretty much nothing post E3 2015. I do really think we’ll get something at Gamescom, TGS, or D23

[@JankyHB]

It's funny I'm more anticipating this weeks' KH Re-Release on Steam than KHIV news, not that I'm not looking forward to it but I'm content with waiting which is definitely something I couldn't say waiting on KH3 initially. I just hope the rereveal is worth the wait it's been so far, it's kind of crazy it's still been a few years since that announcement.

[@Oblivion317]

Looking back, I think the reveal in 2022 - in addition to wanting something substantial for the 20th anniversary - was mainly because the NVIDIA leak forced their hand into announcing that KH4 is a real game. I'm totally fine waiting until 2026.

[@arielkohler]

I'm not disappointed, because I knew 2025 was NEVER gonna freaking happen. Whenever it comes, I'll play it and enjoy it!!!

[@azon7458]

2026 is when I thought it would be coming tbh. When they made the KH4 trailer they told us that they had just started development around that time. So 2022 + 4 years = 2026.

[@ChrisJZedStormzone-fz8od]

I have an idea of a main-line kingdom hearts game have CAC and create our own keyblade available and throughout the story we can learn abilities (stats and magic) and keyblade technique from Riku, Terra etc. and they could put the ancient keyblade wielders as the main antagonist for us to fight while reuniting everyone with Sora. And on the final mission have us the player go out with a blaze of glory (This comment was inspired by a video game called Attack on Titan 2 with the story and the final mission)

[@barronwaleford1446]

Why can’t it just come out as quick as they pump out the FF games

[@ntrg3248]

Because FF is the priority, it makes way more money than KH, and it's been around way longer.

I love kh fans. All the modding and passion is awesome, but idk why kh fans expect anything different. I follow many industry leaks, but in regards to KH... until I see the date released, I don't put stock in any of it.

[@kingdomhearts284]

@SkywardWing yo! I didn't know you came back! I followed your page for years up until kh3. I'm glad you're back. Now we can wait for kh4 lol

[@TheItachiIshtar]

It does seem like Square has changed their strategy, when it comes to promoting their games. Final Fantasy XVI was announced in 2020, but Square held off starting the main promotion until 2022, a year out from release. Rebirth was announced in 2022, but again Square held off starting the main promotion until 2023, a year out from release. Compare that to all of the drip feeding we got with KH3's promotion from 2013-2019. If we don't get a new KH4 trailer at D23, then I think there's a very real chance Square won't kickstart KH4's promotion until next year. Though after waiting over 2 years, it would be really nice to get any sort of update.

[@joeynichols6832]

If it’s early 2026,then it’s fine because they can take most of 2025 to promote kh4,we have kh missing link to hold us over until then.

[@Mew_Stor]

I feel it’s going to be 2027 it’s the 25th anniversary and I think Missing Link will have us busy longer then 2 years for KH4 but we might get another Kingdom Hearts game next year that opens the road to KH4

[@kingdom571]

I don't think its bad to have early looks at the games, it gives us hope that the game is in development!

[@thecrazydisneyparksfanatic921]

I’m fine considering we’ll probably have the mobile game coming out hopefully within the next three months to hold us over until the actual release date for the game

[@CaptainCJ97]

These companies gotta stop announcing games so early i get it was kh 20ths birthday. Ff16 and ff7 rebirth had a good road map

[@Jkjazz123]

Very possible they weren’t thinking it was gonna take this long either, Numora did say two years ago that something happened that caused them to have a creative shift for kingdom hearts 4 during on of the concerts. Could be the reason why it extended development for another year or two.

[@raze2012_]

Y'all gotta blame leaks on this one, ironically enough. The Nvidia leak was part of why they decided to announce KH4 early during the 20th anniversary. People are so hungry for info they won't wait for a proper trailer when the time is right.

[@Ser_17]

If they release kh4 and dmc6 the same year, think I’ll go broke.

[@spyguy1236]

Hey soo… you might wanna look into the Midori situation. New information has been revealed and it seems that the “leak” that HE tweeted is not credible.

[@sh4d0wfl4re]

Yeah, Midori's past username has been shown to be a poor source for leaks in the past. While 2026 is a fair guess, it was not a real leak

[@Kobe2400-j1p]

I feel it’s a good wait I mean yeah he announced it in 2020 but look at the amount of time it took for kh3 we got the announcement 2013 than we had five year wait period with tons of trailers and info we even got a demo before the game drop I feel one more trailer shall do it so we don’t see the whole game like I don’t wanna see the master of masters or anything that’s happen so far make it small but precise

[@nixusfury8317]

I honestly don't mind the early trailers, gives me time to catch up on the games and refresh my memory of the lore. Not to mention im chronically late to learing about anything game related most of the time so i only learned there was going to be a KH4 like a week ago.😅

Assuming it is going to release in 2026, it would make a 7 year gap between kh3 and kh4, and a 13 year gap between kh2 and kh3, leaving a grand total of 20 years. Like 20 locks on the black box and 20 total seekers of darkness and guardians of light.

[@ajflink]

I am guessing the push for the usage of Unreal Engine started with Kingdom Hearts III, which is very impressive how it turned out and being fun. I did enjoy the story but in retrospective it kinda felt like there was a subtle push by the narrative to have certain events transpire, which seemed like it would have been more gradual from what Dream Drop Distance seemed to imply in order to move onto the next arc after the first arc took so long to close the book on. I have played all the games in the series and first enjoyed and continued to enjoy them for more than a 15 years. So, I really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts III when it came out, especially Re:Mind and still do. I never had the outrageous expectations that other fans apparently had about the game.

Release window is just right. Enough time to get the content of the base game feature complete from launch (not stilted like KH3's). Plus they avoid the overwhelming shadow GTA 6 will cast in Fall 2025. And that's not to mention Monster Hunter Wilds, Death Stranding 2, and the mountain of big 2025 titles just announced at Xbox's showcase. KH4 dodged a slew of bullets 😅😂.
