After canceling Kingdom Hearts Lacking-Hyperlink, Sq. Enix has launched some new screenshots of Kingdom Hearts IV to present followers proof of life. The corporate has been fairly quiet in regards to the fourth entry in its Disney/Ultimate Fantasy crossover RPG sequence since asserting it in 2022, and in case you’ve obtained to present people dangerous information and inform them a sport within the franchise has been canceled, it’s in all probability a good suggestion to reassure them that the primary course remains to be coming. As such, Sq. Enix launched seven new photos from the sport, they usually…don’t inform us a lot.

Probably the most notable screenshot right here—and yeah, it’s very low-res—is the one through which the participant is controlling Mickey Mouse. Followers are cut 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 one in all a number of authentic worlds within the sequence, reminiscent of Hallow Bastion or Scala Advert 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 obtained an prolonged epilogue DLC about 11 months after the unique sport was launched. The sequence additionally lastly made its strategy to Steam final 12 months.
