Kingdom Hearts 4 Teased by Nomura

Kingdom Hearts 4: The "Lost Master Arc" and What's Next

The highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 4, unveiled in 2022, ushers in the "Lost Master Arc," a new storyline signifying the saga's endgame. The initial trailer showcased Sora in the enigmatic Quadratum, a Shibuya-inspired city. Speculation runs rampant among fans, with many suggesting the inclusion of Star Wars or Marvel worlds, expanding the series' Disney collaborations beyond traditional animation.

Square Enix has remained tight-lipped regarding specifics, fueling fan theories based on the cryptic trailer. Intriguing details, potentially hinting at Star Wars or Marvel's presence, have been unearthed by keen-eyed players.

Adding to the intrigue, Tetsuya Nomura, Kingdom Hearts co-creator, recently commemorated the 15th anniversary of Birth By Sleep, highlighting the recurring "crossroads" theme within the series. He subtly connected this theme to the upcoming "Lost Master Arc" in Kingdom Hearts 4, promising further details at a later date.

Nomura's Hints about Kingdom Hearts 4

Nomura specifically referenced the Lost Masters' convergence in Kingdom Hearts 3's final scenes, revealing Xigbar's true identity as Luxu, a long-hidden Keyblade master. He cryptically alluded to the Lost Masters' exchange—a loss for a gain—echoing the American folklore concept of crossroads.

Nomura's comments suggest Kingdom Hearts 4 will address the consequences of this pivotal reunion. While much remains undisclosed, Nomura's recent statements hint at an imminent reveal, possibly through a new trailer.
