The release of Kingdom Hearts IV would be much further away than expected

One of the biggest leakers in the video game sector suggests that Kingdom Hearts IV will not be ready until 2026

We are in the most important week of the year in the video game sector, although the first round of Summer Game Fest events is almost over with tonight’s Ubisoft Forward (9:00 p.m.). However, there is one company absent from this calendar, Square Enix, which so far has only been present with the new installment of Life is Strange. However, the Japanese company has many other games in development such as the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts IVwhose launch it would be further than expected.

This is because the same leaker that anticipated the possible presence of Kingdom Hearts IV at the D23 Expo to once again offer news, Midori, now states that the launch window that has been discussed recently about the new title starring Sora and company is not true. In fact, he highlights that it would be very far from being a reality, since Square Enix’s plans would include launching the title at some point to be determined in 2026.

In this way, it seems that Hopes of seeing Kingdom Hearts IV in 2025 fade, as had been mentioned. Midori is one of the most reliable sources in the sector, so its information does not usually come as a surprise. Even so, it will be necessary to take all these details as a rumor until Square Enix itself speaks out to find out what its real plans are.

Will there be new Kingdom Hearts titles before KHIV?

At this point it seems unlikely that Square Enix will launch an alternative title to Kingdom Hearts IV, so everything indicates that it will be the next main installment in the saga. However, there is still pending the release of Kingdom Hearts: Missing Linkthe mobile device title that has several delays behind it and that should see the light of day in 2024. Beyond that, sand it is unknown if there is anything else in development about the saga.

Therefore, we will have to see if they know each other in the remainder of the summer. more details of the saga from Square Enix.
