Kingdom Hearts IV picks up after the events of Kingdom Hearts III and the Re Mind DLC. The trailer showcases Quadratum, a large expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world that’s unlike anything that’s been seen in the Kingdom Hearts series. The trailer showcases the new world, the new stylish look for Sora, and combat against a giant enemy. The trailer also features a brief appearance from Donald and Goofy as they seem to be searching for Sora and Strelitzia, a character new to the mainline games. Strelitzia was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts Union X[Cross].

Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link is the first location-based action RPG in the Kingdom Hearts series and will bring iconic worlds like Scala and Caelum into the real world. Players will take on fast-paced exciting battles against the Heartless alone or with friends. A Closed Beta (limited to specific regions) will come in 2022.

The last chapter of Kingdom Hearts Dark Road for Kingdom Hearts Union X Dark Road was also announced at the event. It will launch in August 2022 as a free upodate to the app.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary with the announcement of two new KINGDOM HEARTS titles. We’d like to thank the fans for all of their support over the years, and we can’t wait for them to experience all that’s to come for Sora and his friends.,” Ichiro Hazama, Brand Manager said.

Nana Gadd, Director of Walt Disney Games added: “Sora is an original Disney video game hero like no other, beloved by our team, and fans across the world. We’ve been honored to work with Tetsuya Nomura and his team for two decades to introduce these original stories of discovery, courage, and friendship. This glimpse into Sora’s next adventure is just the beginning – we can’t wait to show more when the time is right.”
