A well-known gaming industry insider has claimed that Kingdom Hearts 4 will be released sometime next year. Kingdom Hearts 4 fans have been incredibly eager for more updates about the upcoming fourth mainline entry in Square Enix's long-running series. The game was first revealed during the franchise's 20th anniversary event, where a trailer showed Sora's situation after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3. This included a brand-new look for Sora, an apartment and city that resembled modern day Tokyo, and even some gameplay footage where Sora battled a giant Heartless.
Following this trailer, Square Enix has been silent about Kingdom Hearts 4's progress. The company has been putting its attention towards marketing the release of Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth throughout 2023-2024, which has left Kingdom Hearts fans without much to go on.

This statement from DanielRPK comes after another recent claim he made about the franchise, leaking that an adaptation of Kingdom Hearts is reportedly in the works, though he didn't reveal if it was a TV show or a movie. While DanielRPK's statement isn't much to go off on, and insiders like him have been wrong before, fans should both be excited and wary of these claims.
While speculation about Kingdom Hearts 4 has been pretty rampant, the series hasn't been entirely radio silent.

Fans will just need to patiently wait until Square Enix is ready to give them more information about Kingdom Hearts 4.
