During a 25th Anniversary panel for Kingdom Hearts, details about the next game came to life.
Kingdom Hearts fans made their joy known during D23’s Entertainment Showcase when a 90 second trailer popped up amid the parade of film and TV announcements, revealing some new details about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 4 game. But the good news wasn’t limited to the big showcase. During the 25th Anniversary panel for Kingdom Hearts at D23 the game’s Director, Tetsuya Nomura, revealed the original trailer was actually 4 minutes long.
He then showed everyone the trailer, and the crowd went truly wild.
There’s a lot going on in this trailer, and it reveals quite a bit about the way Kingdom Hearts 4 is going to work. A promised, this longer trailer has all of the same pieces from the night before but with quite a bit more depth. Here are a few things I found, supported by commentary from the game’s creators.
Other than the above, the Kingdom Hearts team repeatedly shared this game will follow the same general format of its predecessors. Each world will be its own environmental challenges, include popular characters from across all Disney IP regardless of how old or new, encourage a diversity of gameplay styles and will be unapologetically Disney. All we need now is a way to preorder.
