When Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced during this month's Nintendo Direct, people were pleasantly surprised.

After all, the game was first announced in 2022 and had received little to no updates since. Now, fans can relax knowing that it's still coming. However, despite showcasing a new trailer, Square Enix didn't announce a release date, leaving many to wonder when they can play as Sora again.
