After canceling Kingdom Hearts Lacking-Hyperlink, Sq. Enix has launched some new screenshots of Kingdom Hearts IV to provide followers proof of life. The corporate has been fairly quiet concerning the fourth entry in its Disney/Ultimate Fantasy crossover RPG collection since saying it in 2022, and for those who’ve bought to provide of us unhealthy information and inform them a recreation within the franchise has been canceled, it’s most likely a good suggestion to reassure them that the primary course continues to be coming. As such, Sq. Enix launched seven new pictures from the sport, and so they…don’t inform us a lot.

Probably 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 truly is on this picture. It doesn’t seem like a Disney world (although I initially thought it could possibly be Belle’s library in Magnificence and the Beast), so it could possibly be one in all a number of unique worlds within the collection, 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 principally from the part of the sport we’ve already seen.

The “when the time is correct” within the social put up certain makes it sound like we’re a great 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 Street and Melody of Reminiscence dropped the next yr, and KH3 bought an prolonged epilogue DLC about 11 months after the unique recreation was launched. The collection additionally lastly made its option to Steam final yr.
