I personally feel like Dissidia 012 would make a more logical next remaster. That game on modern hardware with online would be great.
When are we expecting news?

I'm very surprised that KH4 is the more illusive and rare game than KH3. KH4 actually looked good when they revealed it, unlike KH3 which looked awful on reveal.
KH3 also never went over two years without being seen, not even close, not even with an entire engine change. I really can't wait to hear what insane shit went on behind the scenes that seemingly sent KH4 into mini hibernation

I'd love to have Dissidia on a main console. It's been fun getting a lot of the handheld games I've loved in the past like 3D on a main console, it just makes it more fun to play that way. I need to take some time in the future to play the extended VII franchise when I finally get into the Remake, I never have played the various spinoff for that one.
I thought KH3 actually looked good in those very early trailers? (Not as good as 4 though.) The final result was slightly down from there, but I think I'd read here somewhere over the years that that early trailer was sort of thrown together to make it appear they were farther along than they were (and that was even before the engine change).

If Square Enix supported the PS Classics catalogue, they'd just let Implicit Conversions work on a Dissidia 012 port, somehow fix it so the DLC items are unlocked in game, and let us all enjoy that wonderful game all over again.
All this mention of Dissidia 012- do it, Square! DO IT YOU COWARDS!

The default answer here is "blame Covid". They released Remind in early 2020 right as things started to go downhill. So KH4 in part has been developed during the worst of the pandemic. As far as I'm concerned, every game that was in any stage of development during that time gets a mulligan.

Thing is, we’re seeing more and more updates and releases from other games that started development around that time. Even Rebirth was fully developed and released during that same time span. That game obviously had a lot working in its favor like not having to switch engines, but plenty of games that switched to UE5 are now out or on the horizon too
Covid is without question a valid excuse for a longer development. But at some point, I think we have to consider it’s not the reason why we still haven’t received an update.

I feel like we haven't seen any updates because the game got revealed early.
Like 6 months to 1 year before release we'll probably start getting more trailers

I wouldn't be too surprised if the lack of KH4 info compared to KH3 crumbs they put out every year has little to do with actual development progress and more to do with how they are marketing the game these days.
They are probably going more for stay quite until it's relatively close to launch and go through full marketing cycle for 6~8 months prior to release.
FF7 Rebirth did the big reveal (outside of the initial title reveal teaser) at SGF 2023 and the game came out on Feb 2024.
DQIII HD-2D just had re-reveal last month after years of hiatus and is coming out on November this year.
Also Dragon Quest XII was announced in 2021 and we haven't even seen single thing about the game other than the logo yet... and I assume they will probably start promoting that once it's closer to release, as well as after DQ3, DQ1&2 remake comes out.
It's kinda crazy that SE are not really promoting any AAA titles at this moment but with new CEO and structure it's hard to predict how they are going to approach the PR in the future.

This is the part that intrigues me. At the very least, KH isn't entirely dormant, as the ports just dropped, and there's a DOA phone game floating around here somewhere.
What's interesting to me right now is that SE doesn't have any AAA game or DLC in the pipeline right now besides KH. So it's a little odd that they're letting this two year silence period for KH4 continue.
That being said, I don't really care or want to see a bunch of KH4 trailers. I'd rather just get some info on when we can expect the game. After playing Rebirth and Shadow of the Erdtree without consuming any trailers or footage, I really like going in knowing less.

Yeah I do agree that’s likely the case since that is the new marketing trend for SE. It’s something I’ve been saying for a while that the next time we see it should hopefully be only 8-10 months before release give or take. Rebirth, Visions of Mana, and several other titles have followed this pattern recently. (Fingers still crossed for a D23 reveal with a June 2025 release.)
Hopefully there’s no more to it than that and development has otherwise went smoothly. But it’s easy to be concerned when we haven’t heard anyone involved with the game even mention it by name since shortly after its reveal. Other titles like DQXII at least had little crumbs here and there.
But I’m honestly more curious about Missing Link’s state than I am KH4. For a game supposed to release this year, the marketing has been abysmal. Even if it was delayed three months or so to September, they could still be doing some stuff to pass the time like releasing character renders/bios, Disney world reveals, etc. Especially when they want us to believe this is like a console game on phones.
I unironically believe most of the KH4 silence is cuz they're pullin the "no platforming in KH2" approach
Where they heard the criticism of KH3's marketing and just went in the opposite direction entirely.

It's certainly interesting and different from their previous approach. Maybe their new strategy is to promote focus on games coming out relatively soon, even if it's not AAA games so the bigger games don't overshadow the smaller ones or something. It's harder to predict their PR strategy with new CEO and structure.

I love this Aurora design. Glad to see it’s a game and not just another Tsum Tsum event. I wish this was the kind of mobile game we were getting for KH over Missing Link. Based on the story description, this could have easily taken place in the KH universe.
Round 3 of predicting random Kingdom Hearts news that still isn't KH4.Adding on to this because I got nothing better to do. Sora in Disney Speedstorm and Kingdom Hearts Villainous board game.
