After canceling Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link, Sq. Enix has launched some new screenshots of Kingdom Hearts IV to offer followers proof of life. The corporate has been fairly quiet in regards to the fourth entry in its Disney/Closing Fantasy crossover RPG collection since announcing it in 2022, and should you’ve acquired to offer people dangerous information and inform them a recreation within the franchise has been canceled, it’s in all probability a good suggestion to reassure them that the principle course continues to be coming. As such, Sq. Enix launched seven new photos from the sport, they usually…don’t inform us a lot.
Essentially the most notable screenshot right here—and yeah, it’s very low-res—is the one wherein the participant is controlling Mickey Mouse. Followers are break up on the place the Keyblade-wielding mascot really is on this picture. It doesn’t seem like a Disney world (although I initially thought it may very well be Belle’s library in Magnificence and the Beast), so it may very well be certainly one of a number of authentic worlds within the collection, equivalent to Hallow Bastion or Scala Ad Caelum. Mickey has solely been playable in a few Kingdom Hearts video games, and even then, it was solely in particular circumstances like boss fights. That one apart, these are largely from the part of the sport we’ve already seen.

The “when the time is true” within the social put up certain makes it sound like we’re a good distance away from one other trailer. Even so, it’s not like Kingdom Hearts followers have had nothing since Kingdom Hearts III’s launch in 2019. Each Kingdom Hearts Darkish Highway and Melody of Reminiscence dropped the next 12 months, and KH3 acquired an prolonged epilogue DLC about 11 months after the unique recreation was launched. The collection additionally finally made its way to Steam final 12 months.
