Kingdom Hearts 4 News Expected at Disney's 2026 D23 Event

A special 25th-anniversary Kingdom Hearts panel at Disney's 2026 D23 event has fans of Square Enix's RPG series wondering if major Kingdom Hearts 4 news is right around the corner.

Disney's D23 event, not held annually, serves as a platform for major announcements. This year, a panel titled 'Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts' will celebrate the franchise's 25 years on August 15. While it's uncertain who will attend, the presence of Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura could hint at significant updates regarding Kingdom Hearts 4.

Although the panel's existence doesn't guarantee Kingdom Hearts 4 news, the recent trailer release during a Nintendo Direct event suggests a possibility. The trailer showcased Sora battling Heartless in a modern Japan-inspired setting, hinting at exciting developments for fans eagerly awaiting the game's release.
