New Hollywood Studios show will feature the disgraced, forbidden, banned Dr. Facilier character that Disney cannot use under any circumstances.

It looks like Hades, Hook, Cruella, Maleficent, and Jafar will be the key players in the show itself. But it’d be neat if they would cycle in a sixth villain or something to change it up a bit.

Saw a rumour that Funko are making a new line of Kingdom Hearts pops for release this summer (Roxas, Xion, Xehanort, Lingering Will).

Last time the funkos were coming out it was alongside KH3 and then that dried up once the game was out so I’m definitely 👀 if this is true

Wait, does this mean we’re back?

Seems like we’re BACK BACK.

I’d already be happy with the Story so far on Switch2.
I wonder if 3rd party companies are already allowed to announce their games or if they still have to wait til April.
Maybe we’ll get a ML trailer on the anniversary day or an announcement for more to come during the Switch2 direct..

i think i've finally made it to the other side of this whole thing. it was funny to me that we'd have such an insane drought for so long, but after 1000 days it can't get any funnier or more extreme, so it's just depressing now. where's the news? i'm not having fun anymore!
i was just thinking this yesterday.
another day of waking up to no kingdom hearts

Isn’t today ReMinds fifth anniversary?

That’s actually really sad. Back then I really thought, we’d have the next game by 2023/2024.
ReMind scares me lmao, never before have I felt so catered to, never before have so many of my concerns been /directly/ addressed. For a combat enthusiast, the leap from base KH3 to ReMind is fucking CRAZY, not just the new abilities, but the reduction in downtime between combos, the added cancel windows to base-game finishers, etcetera.

Scares me because we never got any credits for ReMind. We don't know if it was designed/directed by the same people behind base KH3, but they just decided to make a dozen opposite decisions.. we don't know if someone ELSE from SE got involved... ReMind makes me feel so confident about KH4's gameplay and design choices, but I don't want to have the rug pulled out from under me. You can't just give me the most fun KH content to ever exist and then take it away, right???

You see how Ninja Gaiden 4 was announced today with a Fall 2025 release window? That’s the kind of energy I want for KH4 on its re-reveal. Take notes, Nomura.

Really though, it does seem we have a relatively small window to get it if it’s releasing before VIIR-3. Based on the latter being on track for early 2027, KH4 would need to release by summer ‘26 at the latest to get enough promotion before attention shifts to Part 3. Arguably, even that would be too late if they want to do another orchestra tour and all that.

I still think this should be very unlikely and it will release by April 2026. But if marketing doesn’t kick off by June, then the odds of it being a 2027/2028 release go way up.

You are not allowed to say Kingdomers ever again

i'm happy for my fucking boi ryu hayabusa tho

Chaser came up with it. You’re gonna have to take that up with them. I’m just jumping on the bandwagon! Of course, if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, there’s always Heartsters!

Does Square have any big titles besides DQ in the works, because if not then KH4 might be the only thing in their pipeline right now. I don't think they can just gamble on FF7R-3 after their recent bumbles.

Those are the big three we know of. FFIX Remake is an open secret but is a smaller scale effort. There are also other projects likely in development from Yoko Taro and Yoshi-P. But there’s no telling when we’ll hear more on those.

They’ve said the three years from March 2024-March 2027 are going to be a reboot for the company. So they very well could be planning to take significant losses during this time period by not releasing many big games. But again, I do think either KH4 or DQ12 will release in 2026. I can’t see KH4 having a bigger development budget than Rebirth and Part 3 combined, which is what it would likely be if it takes 7 years to release.

The time between Kingdom Hearts 3 being revealed in 2013 and its release in Japan on this day in 2019 was 5 years, 7 months, 14 days. Or also written as 2054 days.

It's been 1021 days since KH4 and Missing Link were revealed, almost half of the time waiting for KH3.

Today is also the 6th year anniversary of Kingdom Hearts 3's release and the 5th year anniversary of ReMind. We've now gone through a longer period of time since KH3's release than we went through waiting for its release.

As much as I've bitched about Missing-Link, and as much as I will bitch about Missing-Link when its out, it really would have made the last year easier if it had released on time. The story in the beta was brilliant and intriguing, and I want more of that. The idea that, potentially, it'll be out when it's almost Winter so another 4-6 months minimum of waiting sucks.

Nomura.... Square Enix.... plsss the girls are tired.
