Kingdom Hearts 4 Likely Absent from Tokyo Game Show

It’s been more than two and a half years since Kingdom Hearts 4 was officially unveiled, but news about the game has been scarce ever since. This long silence has left the game's passionate fanbase eager for any updates.

Sadly, it seems their wait for new information will continue a bit longer, as Square Enix has all but confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 4 won't make an appearance at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.

Square Enix Reveals Tokyo Game Show 2024 Lineup, Kingdom Hearts Nowhere in Sight

The Tokyo Game Show 2024 was seen by many as the perfect opportunity for Kingdom Hearts fans to finally get some news. After all, the series has a huge following in Japan, the latest game is set in Tokyo, and it’s being developed by a major Japanese studio. Yet, much to the dismay of fans, it looks like the game won’t be featured.

Square Enix has shared its official lineup for the event, which includes:

- Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

- Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven

- Fantasian Neo Dimension

- Final Fantasy 14 Online

- Final Fantasy 16

- Life Is Strange: Double Exposure

- Dragon Quest Monsters 3: The Dark Prince

- PowerWash Simulator

- Visions of Mana

As disappointing as it may be for the Kingdom Hearts community, the game is notably absent from this list.

There’s still a chance Square Enix is keeping things under wraps and might surprise everyone with a reveal during the show. However, as the days tick by, that possibility seems to be fading.

Tokyo Game Show Still Packed With Exciting Games

Tokyo Game Show 2024 takes place on September 28 and 29, and while it seems unlikely that Kingdom Hearts 4 will make an appearance, there’s no shortage of exciting titles to look forward to. Monster Hunter Wilds from Capcom will be on display, and major players like Bandai Namco, Koei Tecmo, Konami, Sega, and PlayStation are also set to showcase their upcoming games.

For fans of PlayStation, there's an added bonus—an Astro Bot Gacha machine available to those who check out their games at the show.
