Square Enix has revealed that it is developing Kingdom Hearts IV, a mainline sequel to 2019’s Kingdom Hearts III.

It doesn’t take long for Sora to recognize the Heartless threat in the city and as you’d expect, he heads right towards it, Keyblade in hand. Here, we see some new moves in Sora’s arsenal, like some light parkour abilities and a Keyblade chain that acts very much like a grappling hook. He scales his way up a building, and then down another falling through the air, before unleashing a devastating magic drill attack that defeats the Heartless.
