Square Enix announced Kingdom Hearts IV today during a 20th anniversary event for the franchise.
Kingdom Hearts III released in 2019. That entry came out over a decade after the release of 2005’s Kingdom Hearts II. However, Square Enix released multiple spin-off titles between those numbered entries. We’ve only had one spin-off, the 2020 music game Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, release after Kingdom Hearts III.
That makes this relatively soon announcement for KH4 something of a surprise.
The first trailer for the game shows an older (or perhaps just more realistic looking) Sora in a city setting. It may not look much like Kingdom Hearts, but we also see Goofy and Donald Duck at the end of the reveal. The game does not have a release date or listed platforms.
Square Enix also revealed Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link at the event, a more modest title that appears to be a prequel story.
