Kingdom Hearts 4 received an extended D23 trailer on August 15, 2026 that shows dedicated gameplay for Mickey Mouse, Donald, and Goofy along with new Sora abilities and Coco world footage. The title remains on track for a late 2027 launch across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
Disney has identified Kingdom Hearts as one of its nine billion-dollar game franchises in a company news page timed to its D23 expo. The disclosure precedes a Deep Dive panel that kicks off the series' 25th anniversary events running through 2027.
