A Kingdom Hearts 25th anniversary panel titled 'DEEP DIVE into KINGDOM HEARTS' will be held at D23 2026 on August 15. Overseas fans on Reddit are hoping for new Kingdom Hearts IV information, though the article notes the event is a panel and may not include KH4 news. Kingdom Hearts IV is scheduled for multiple platforms with no release date.
The panel, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. local time on August 15 at D23 in Anaheim, is described as a journey through light and darkness with creators and voice actors. On Reddit, comments range from hopes for a Kingdom Hearts IV trailer to skepticism that the event will only look back at the series. Kingdom Hearts IV was previously shown for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but a release date has not been set.
