Now Playing: Kingdom Hearts 4 Reveal and Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary Celebration Trailer
The trailer showcases some brief glimpses of gameplay as Sora squares off against a giant shadow monster in the middle of a city street. This new location is Quadratum, which Square Enix describes as a “large, expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world unlike anything ever seen before” in Kingdom Hearts.
No further details were shared on Quadratum or the overall gameplay or story. Donald and Goofy both return in KHIV, and a new “mysterious” new character named Strelitzia will also be introduced.
There’s no word on what platforms KHIV will be available for, although Kingdom Hearts 3 was eventually released for PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, with the latter being a cloud-streaming version. Likewise, there’s also no release date shared.
Alongside word of the next core entry in the series, Square Enix used the anniversary event to announce a new mobile game called Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link for iOS and Android, which can also be seen in the trailer montage above.
