Square Enix put out a Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer with two confirmed Disney worlds and a release date conspicuously absent.
The trailer revealed worlds based on Hercules and Elemental, the 2023 Pixar film, expanding KH4's confirmed IP roster beyond the animated classics. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. That platform list covers the full current-generation spread — Nintendo's new hardware included. Square Enix did not name a release window.
The Switch 2 addition is the most concrete signal here: it puts KH4 in the same multi-platform tier as the biggest releases of this cycle rather than treating Nintendo's platform as a scaled-down afterthought. Pulling Elemental into the mix also suggests Square Enix is drawing from Pixar's recent catalog, not just the Disney vault, which widens the creative palette considerably.
A trailer that confirms worlds and platforms but no date is a particular kind of announcement — enough to keep the conversation going, not enough to hold anyone to a timeline.
