Sora makes his way through the town of Quadratum.
Here’s something we weren’t expecting during Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct. Kingdom Hearts IV finally has a new trailer, more than four years after our first look at the game. While it still doesn’t have a release date, we now know that it will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on day one alongside other platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC).
Much like the Square Enix gameplay footage previewed in 2022, the new trailer (below) shows Sora swinging his Keyblade through the city of Quadratum, which resembles a modern metropolis. A member of Organization 13 narrates the scene, describing the arrival of light and darkness in the world “only after we defined it.”
This mysterious exposition soon gives way to the high-flying combat you’ve come to expect from a Kingdom Hearts game. We also see a glimpse of new characters and the return of some old ones (Goofy and Donald Duck).
Alongside the trailer, Square Enix announced that the Kingdom Hearts Collection will launch on October 8. The pack will allow fans to catch up on multiple releases of the first three mainline Kingdom Hearts games. It will also be available on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
