Square Enix shared new gameplay footage for Kingdom Hearts IV after a long period of silence. The release marks the first major look at the upcoming title in years. Players can now see how the next entry in the series will play on modern hardware.
New gameplay footage emerges after years of silence while a KH I-III collection arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 in October 2026.
The game joins a broader push by Square Enix to bring its catalog to Nintendo Switch 2. A Kingdom Hearts Collection featuring titles one through three arrives for the console in October 2026. The collection includes a playable demo of Kingdom Hearts III that is available now on the system.
Kingdom Hearts IV will launch across multiple platforms including PC and PlayStation 5. Microsoft Xbox Series X/S consoles will also receive the title at release. The title continues to utilize the series' traditional action role-playing structure.
The upcoming collection for Nintendo Switch 2 bundles the first three mainline entries into a single package. The collection preserves core gameplay systems from previous releases while adapting presentation for modern consoles. A preview version featuring Kingdom Hearts III is currently available for testing ahead of the October 2026 release.
Square Enix plans to release Kingdom Hearts IV on all major next-generation consoles and personal computers simultaneously. The October 2026 date gives fans a clear timeline for the collection, while the main game follows its own schedule. No specific launch dates or pricing details have been provided for either product yet.
