The highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 4 was confirmed in 2022, but since then, Square Enix has maintained a prolonged silence regarding the game’s development. The last significant update dates back to May of last year, when some screenshots were shared, ending a three-year drought of information. Fans have been eager for news, but are now only fueled by small hints and speculation.
Kingdom Hearts 4 could be closer than we think
Recently, actor James Woods, known for voicing Hades since the first installment of the game and the animated movie Hercules, posted a somewhat ambiguous tweet that has sparked speculation. In it, he mentioned that he had finished recording something new, which some fans have interpreted as a possible connection to Kingdom Hearts 4. However, this statement lacks concrete details.
It is important to warn the community that, while Woods’ comment may suggest that the work is progressing, there is no clear evidence to support it. For now, the information remains vague and Square Enix has avoided providing clarifications on the matter. The director Tetsuya Nomura himself has indicated that more significant updates could be expected until next year.
The previous experience of Kingdom Hearts fans reminds them that they have been here before: in November, a simple image of Haley Joel Osment, the voice of Sora, sparked speculation that led to no real news. With this in mind, followers are advised to temper their expectations and seek alternatives in other JRPGs while waiting for updates. Hopes for Kingdom Hearts 4 remain alive, but patience will be key.
Kingdom Hearts is one of those series that doesn’t seem like it will ever have an end. Along with a story that has expanded across different media and all kinds of consoles and titles, to the point of being impossible to follow, it is so long-lasting that it doesn’t seem like it will have a conclusion. Something that doesn’t necessarily have to be true. Because, as expressed by its main responsible party, the idea is for the game to conclude sooner rather than later. In a recent interview for Young Jump magazine, the creator Tetsuya Nomura has been […]
Kingdom Hearts is one of those series that doesn’t seem like it will ever have an end. With a story that has expanded across different media and all kinds of consoles and titles, to the point of being impossible to follow, it is so long-lasting that it doesn’t seem like it will have a conclusion. Something that doesn’t necessarily have to be true. Because as its main director has expressed, the idea is for the game to conclude sooner rather than later.
In a recent interview for Young Jump magazine, creator Tetsuya Nomura has been talking about his work on the Kingdom Hearts series. Among other details, without wanting to delve into spoilers, he said something that caught many people by surprise. According to the Japanese creative, Kingdom Hearts 4 is being developed with the intention of becoming the end of the saga.
Or it will be at some point in the future. Something that has been clarified in the interview is that Kingdom Hearts is not going to end with its fourth installment. The franchise will continue after this title, but this is where the foundations will be laid for what will eventually be the end of the series. This has surprised fans, as they did not expect Kingdom Hearts to have an end on the horizon. Not even considering that it is a franchise with 22 years behind it.
Even more surprising has been the reason why this is happening. The fact that Tetsuya Nomura wants to retire. Although he has stated that it is not something he wants to do immediately, it is something he has thought about doing in the future. And without knowing if he will conclude his career or Kingdom Hearts first, he would at least like to leave everything tied up so that the conclusion of the franchise can be satisfactory. This is not at all absurd, considering that Nomura is currently 53 years old and will turn 54 on October 8. A more than reasonable age to start making retirement plans.
That is why it is expected that Kingdom Hearts 4 will give us many more answers than we anticipated. Although the franchise has been characterized by the opposite, it seems that we will finally be able to start seeing more clearly everything it wants to tell us—and start seeing light at the end of the horizon. While that does not mean the end is near, it does mean we are approaching a point of no return for Kingdom Hearts.
Kingdom Hearts IV es un juego de rol premium de SQUARE ENIX. En la última entrega de la querida serie de plataformas de acción, Sora regresa con Donald y Goofy al mundo mágico de varias propiedades de Disney en una nueva aventura. Continúa la larga historia con el nuevo Lost Master Arc que introduce nuevos personajes, mundos y habilidades para que los jugadores exploren.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will end at the most remembered point of Final Fantasy VII, which makes us suspect possible twists in the game.
RPGs tend to be long games. They aim to tell a story, often with many characters and involving decades or centuries of consequences from ancient acts, and that takes time. Just ask Final Fantasy. A franchise known for its short games that expand beyond 30 hours when you go straight to the main campaign. That’s why, although we’re excited about the announcement of the release date of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, we’re also worried. Worried about asking ourselves a question. How long will this game last? And the game’s creative director has answered us.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the second part of the remake trilogy of the original Final Fantasy 7. This means that this game will not conclude the story, and therefore, we don’t know where it will end. However, we have Tetsuya Nomura to clarify, and he has explained in an interview on the PlayStation blog how far it will go.
According to him, the game will conclude in The Lost Capital. Those who have played the original game might be breaking into a cold sweat right now. It’s understandable. One of the most iconic events in the game takes place there. However, since Final Fantasy 7 Remake has substantially changed the story compared to the original game, it raises the question of whether the fate of our characters will be the same at the end of this Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Because things can change.
Especially because Nomura has clarified that they have changed many things along the way. We won’t be visiting Wutai until the next installment of the game, and the order of other important locations will be changed. That’s why it’s not possible to know the exact content of the game, but from what is implied and what we could see in the trailer, it would be strange if there were less than 100 hours of content to complete the entirety of the game.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be released on February 29, 2024, on two discs. Its first part, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
