Square Enix undoubtedly shined on the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, with the first example Kingdom Hearts IV. And if you don’t know, Tokyo is celebrating 20 years since the arrival of the first Kingdom Hearts, a saga that has won a legion of followers, and about a year ago there was a leap, expected and considered by many to be impossible when the Epic Games launched PC version.

Announcement Kingdom Hearts IV has a bit of Schrödinger, because at that time it is a surprise, but on the other hand it is not. This is because the last title in the series, Kingdom Hearts III, was released only three years ago, in 2019, more than a decade after its predecessor, Kingdom Hearts II, which was released in 2005. Most views therefore emphasized that the fourth major part of the series would take a few more years, if not enough, to be seen and announced.

However, this is not so surprising because Square Enix has already given some signal this week that a very important announcement will be made in this event. And of course, a title based on a franchise, but outside the series would not be such a big deal. And that this event is taking place on the twentieth anniversary of the first title, we have already been invited to think that Kingdom Hearts IV is on its way, or at least considered it a viable hypothesis.

The video you can see here shows us a tour of the whole saga, something logical, considering that it is celebrating its 20th anniversary, but the most interesting comes to the conclusion when, after remembering the previous titles, Square Enix shows Kingdom Hearts IV pictures for the first time, not only is he working on a new title, but he also shows pictures of him, which bring us a few steps closer to the story of this future issue.

Specifically for those who know the saga, pictures of Kingdom Hearts IV from the video they show us how Sora wakes up in Quadratumcity ​​introduced incl Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind and Contemporary Aesthetics. Everything seems normal until suddenly the strange and dangerous creature he has to face appears. The video after this sequence ends with Goofy and Donald, Sora’s battle partners, even though they do not share the same sequence.

It’s obviously too early for that, so at the moment there is no information about data, name, platforms (Will it debut on PC from day one?) or something similar. However, the first pictures of Kingdom Hearts IV suggest that the wait will undoubtedly be much shorter than that between the second and third parts of the saga. Maybe sometime in 2023? We’ll have to wait for that, but from the little we’ve seen in this trailer, the wait seems worthwhile.
