The next part of the adventures of Sora and his Disney companions is eagerly awaited by fans. They therefore come together on social networks to share their opinion on Kingdom Hearts 4.
It’s an atypical mixture, and yet the formula has convinced the gaming world. Kingdom Hearts, the franchise that mixes Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters, celebrates its 22nd anniversary this year. With more than 33 million copies sold and around twenty main and spin-off games, it occupies a special place in the hearts of fans.
Since 2002, many have grown up with Sora and his traveling companions. So, 5 years after the release of Kingdom Hearts 3, fans are dying to find the wielder of the Keyblade. Imagine their enthusiasm when, for the franchise’s 20th anniversary celebrations, Kingdom Hearts 4 has been officially announced!
Eagerly awaiting this new opus, fans like to talk about it on social networks. They thus find themselves on platforms like Reddit to share their joy or, conversely, their discontent. Regarding the fourth part of the adventures of Sorathe anxiety begins to rise…
Where did Kingdom Hearts 4 go?
To tell you how much the Kingdom Hearts community is waiting for the next opus, fans met online on April 10 for a very special anniversary. In fact, Wednesday marked two years since the release of the whole first trailer of the game, at the same time formalizing the project.
However, since then, it has been (almost) dead calm. The Square Enix teams remain silent about KH4, and it is not happening. Indeed, the Redditors are pouring out their disappointment on the social network. Some make, for example, the comparison with the Final Fantasy opuses which follow one another, while fans of Kingdom Hearts “ are stuck in purgatory “.
We also cannot count the number of responses to this thread making this observation: “ we still don’t know anything “. Some users even fear that the project will be canceled… But others rightly point out that the wait was also required for the previous opuses. For example, one user notes that KH3 had been announced “ six years before the game came out “.
At this stage, concerns about the possibility that Square Enix abandoned the project. We will therefore still have to be patient before seeing more about the next Kingdom Hearts.
What will Kingdom Hearts 4 be about?
If the fourth part of the Kingdom Hearts license is so anticipated, it is partly because it announces a real renewal in the franchise. After three opuses following a narrative framework that followed one another, Square Enix indicated in a press release that it was time to begin a new chapter with the next one.
New trials await Sora and his sidekicks in Kingdom Hearts 4. This fourth part will begin a new cycle, called “Lost Master Arc”. The story will take place in the city of Quadratum, which looks like a futuristic Tokyo.
The trailer already raises the first stakes with a giant enemy attacking the city. Sora, accompanied by the faithful Dingo And Donald, finally meets a brand new character shrouded in mystery: Strelitzia. The adventure awaits, so let’s hope Square gives us some news soon.
