GAME INTRODUCTION

What to know before you play

Kingdom Hearts IV is a single-player action RPG developed and published by Square Enix. Sora explores original and Disney-inspired worlds, fights in real time with the Keyblade, and gains new powers as the story moves between Quadratum and other worlds. It is scheduled for late 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox on PC.

What the game is

Kingdom Hearts IV continues Sora's story in the Lost Master Arc. The announced material places him in Quadratum while Donald and Goofy search the Underworld and Mickey follows another lead. A world inspired by Disney and Pixar's Coco is also confirmed.

The core loop is exploration followed by real-time action combat. Sora moves through story areas, fights enemies with the Keyblade, and uses newly announced powers during traversal and battle. Square Enix has shown playable sections for Sora, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, but has not published a complete party system, ability list, world order, or boss route.

What makes it different

Disney and Square Enix worlds meet in one story. Quadratum and the Underworld sit alongside the newly confirmed Coco world.
Keyblade combat drives the action. The footage shows fast movement, weapon transformations, and new powers rather than turn-based battles.
Multiple familiar characters are playable. Sora, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy all have announced playable footage, although the length and structure of those sections remain unknown.

Who it fits

It is a strong fit for players who want a story-led single-player action RPG, enjoy Disney and Square Enix crossovers, and are comfortable entering an ongoing series narrative. It is a weaker fit for anyone looking for co-op, competitive multiplayer, a self-contained story with no earlier-series context, or confirmed PC performance details before buying.
