Kingdom Hearts IV (video game)

"Just hold on... we're going home."

- The famous quote from the game

'''NOTE: THIS IS JUST A FAN MADE IDEA FOR A POTENTIAL INSTALLMENT IN THE KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AT ALL UNLESS SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY CONFIRMED. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING!'''

Kingdom Hearts IV is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PS4 and Xbox One. It is the thirteenth installment in the Kingdom Hearts series, a follow-up to the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, and the first chapter in a new unnamed story. Set some time after the events of Kingdom Hearts III, new protagonist "Brando" is a Keyblade wielder-in-training who lives in the famous Bell Towne, a city corrupted by local crime and corruption. Joined by characters from Disney and Final Fantasy, Brando must venture to different worlds in order to stop an evil threat from unleashing a villainous plot.

The game will be built using Unreal Engine 4. The release date for the game is currently unknown.

Characters
"Brando" (whose full name is currently unknown) stars as the new main protagonist of the game, while other new characters include Montoya, James Dallas, Tanner Thompson, and some other unnamed/upcoming characters that serve as a big part of the new upcoming story.

Antagonists from the upcoming worlds will include Te Kā, Toffee, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens, Bill Cipher, Magica De Spell, Rodissius, Dr. Facilier, and Tamotoa; other antagonists that aren't part of the original source material will take place as an original story to the universe of its own franchise, whether it be after a film installment or moments after an event in a movie or show.
