Square Enix Confirms New Kingdom Hearts 4 Showing This Month

Devoted fans of the Kingdom Hearts franchise were treated to a wealth of exciting announcements at this year’s D23 expo, headlined by an extended showcase for Kingdom Hearts 4 alongside confirmation of an upcoming anime adaptation slated for a late 2027 release. Building on that momentum, Square Enix is already gearing up to unveil even more details about the highly anticipated sequel.

Beginning on September 17, Square Enix will participate in the Tokyo Game Show. Ahead of the convention doors opening, the publisher published its official lineup, confirming that Kingdom Hearts 4 will be featured. While a definitive schedule has yet to be finalized, developer panels and live streams are widely expected. These presentations will likely serve as the primary venue for fresh reveals, potentially offering everything from an exact release date to extended gameplay footage.

Square Enix’s Tokyo Game Show Lineup Features a Hands-On Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Demo

Kingdom Hearts 4 will not be the publisher’s only major attraction. Hot on the heels of its release date confirmation during the recent State of Play broadcast, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will offer a playable booth demo for attendees. Square Enix noted that visitors can experience a specific slice of the adventure, though exact details regarding the demo’s length and narrative placement remain under wraps.

Meanwhile, Final Fantasy XIV will also maintain a presence as the team prepares for the launch of the Evercold expansion next year. Major announcements are being kept under wraps for now, as the studio reserves its broader roadmap—including the official expansion launch date and details surrounding the second new job class—for the Tokyo Fan Fest in late October. In the interim, visitors who stop by the booth can secure an exclusive crossover bag celebrating the MMORPG’s upcoming Final Fantasy 7 raid series.
