Kingdom Hearts IV Has Been Announced

As part of the series’ 20th anniversary celebrations, Square Enix just used a Sunday evening presentation in Japan to unveil two new Kingdom Hearts games, one of them being Kingdom Hearts IV.


The show, held in Tokyo, had live music, artwork presentations, and “on-stage appearances from Series Director, Tetsuya Nomura, series’ composer, Yoko Shimomura, and other development members.” The big news, though, was the Kingdom Hearts IV announcement, alongside the reveal of another new Kingdom Hearts game, this one for mobile.
Both trailers are included in the video below, viewable after a short sequence for Kingdom Hearts Dark Road’s final story update.

"The 20th Anniversary Event has just wrapped up. We’ve collated the videos revealed today, so if you weren’t able to come to the event, then please take a look. We’ll be providing more information at a later date. Thank you very much for today" - Tetsuya Nomura #KH20th
