"The magic is in the making": Kingdom Hearts 4 officially confirmed

The recently completed 20th Anniversary Event set the stage for KH4 to unveil alongside a new mobile game called Missing-Link. A teaser trailer for KH4 was shown at the event, and fans will definitely be excited to learn what Square Enix has in store for them.

The trailer started with these lines: As

the voiceover ends, an ominous black hole begins to form in the city of Quadratum. The frame changes to give viewers a glimpse of Sora waking up on the couch. He is then shown using a Keyblade while upshifting to knock down a dark shadowy entity emerging from the aforementioned hole in the city.

The cinematic quickly changes from the title for a moment to what looks like a gameplay footage. Sora jumps and grapples with multiple obstacles to reach the entity before entering the void. The scene ends with an image of hooded figures and a gloomy line:

"However, if you leave this world behind, don't expect to return to the world you came from."

The trailer finally ends with a look at Donald Duck and Goofy walking in a dark place and looking for a mysterious "it". They are greeted by a blue flame and someone asking where they are going. Here's what the press release trailer explains: In the

announcement trailer, Sora makes a triumphant return with an updated look at the beginning of an epic new story titled "Lost Master Arc." Beginning with Sora facing off against a giant enemy in a boss fight, players are introduced to the Quadratum, a large, expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world never seen before in the KINGDOM HEARTS series.

"

Fans will be excited to see the return of Sora's well-known friends Donald and Goofy, in addition to the first appearance of Strelitzia, a mysterious new character who appears before Sora in this strange new setting."

Although the game has been officially announced, Kingdom Hearts 4' The press release states that this look at Sora's next adventure is just the beginning, and they "can't wait to show more when the time comes." Nor were any details on the game's launch platforms.
