KINGDOM HEARTS IV FAQ
When is KINGDOM HEARTS IV releasing?+
Square Enix confirmed at D23 2026 that KINGDOM HEARTS IV is planned for release in late 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. There is no precise day yet — we will update this page as soon as an exact date is announced.
What platforms will KINGDOM HEARTS IV launch on?+
The game is set for a simultaneous launch across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store. That makes KH4 the first mainline Kingdom Hearts entry to launch day-one on four major platforms.
Is the Coco world confirmed in KH4?+
Yes. The D23 2026 showcase trailer revealed a Coco world inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Coco and its Land of the Dead. The trailer also showed Donald and Goofy exploring the Underworld nearby, where Hades appears to be waiting.
Do I need to play Kingdom Hearts III before KH4?+
Kingdom Hearts III and Melody of Memory directly set up KH4, so a story recap is strongly recommended for the full picture. You can also follow the HD collections to experience the series in order — our Lore and Series sections break down everything you need before launch.
How is KH4 combat different from KH3?+
KH4 keeps the fast pace but adds Keyblade switching during battle, parkour traversal and a grappling-hook Keyblade. Reaction Commands from Kingdom Hearts II return, and a brand-new battle feature has been teased. Precise details beyond the trailers remain unconfirmed.
What is Keyblade switching in KH4?+
Keyblade switching lets Sora change the Keyblade he wields in the middle of combat to access unique attacks suited to the battle flow. It builds on the Keyblade transformations from Kingdom Hearts III and is one of the pillars of the new combat system.
Whats the best order to play Kingdom Hearts before KH4?+
Start with Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, continue with 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, then play Kingdom Hearts III and Re Mind, and finish with Melody of Memory. That path covers the main story threads that feed directly into KH4.
