KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

After an extended drought of news related to the 'Kingdom Hearts' series, Tetsuya Nomura has finally provided an update to fans to commemorate the recent 24th anniversary of the series, providing a new illustration of Young Xehanort with an umbrella (similar to the one he drew back during the release of Dark Road), along with a short message indicating that there is ongoing work for the series' 25th anniversary next year:

Whether that may finally hint towards a release window for 'Kingdom Hearts IV' or something else entirely remains to be seen, but hopefully this is a positive sign of finally getting some updates on the series this year.

During a X/Twitter exchange yesterday, voice actor Zach Pokres let it slip that one of the projects he has worked on recently was none other than 'Kingdom Hearts IV' (which he disclosed he had permission to mention without further detail):
It is currently unknown what role Zach Pokres is playing in the game, as it can either be a major role or simply voicing NPCs. Regardless, with the recent new screenshots that were released, and the fact that English voice acting is already being done for the game, the chances of seeing much more of the game soon seems very high.

EDIT: It appears the actor in question has deleted the Tweet. Reasons are unknown, as no comments have been made by the actor, but there's a good chance Square-Enix/Disney retracted their permission to allow Zach to mention KH4. Either way, for proof of the Tweet, please check out the video below:

Not long after the official cancellation of 'Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link', Square-Enix decided to release a couple of screenshots of 'Kingdom Hearts IV' to reassure fans that the game is still being worked on, and will be coming. Check out the new screenshots below:

While the screenshots don't reveal much new information (other than what's already known about the game since the first trailer back in 2022), it does show an updated UI, and hints at the possibility of playing as King Mickey in some segments of the game. Besides the screenshots, a message was also provided to fans, letting them all know that they are indeed heard, and the developers are working hard on making the game. Check out the message below:

After being delayed last November, it has been officially announced today that the mobile game 'Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link' has officially ceased development, with Square-Enix assuring fans that work on the highly anticipated 'Kingdom Hearts IV' is still underway. Square-Enix's announcement of the game's cancellation can be viewed below:
Given the apparent importance of its plot, it is currently unknown if the story of 'Missing Link' would be told in another format in the future in the lead-up to KH4.

Hey everyone, over the past 2 weeks I've been making this Command Melding Tool for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. As of today, it's feature-complete! If you've ever been annoyed by how you can't see what commands/abilities you'll get through command melding, this interactive tool will make your next playthrough go a lot smoother. It has 2 modes:

- Meld Mode: Select the commands you want to meld together, and see the resulting new command, as well as all possible abilities (based on the crystal you use), and probability of success.


- Recipe Mode: Select the command you want to create, and see all possible ways to make it. Can also see abilities and chance of success.


All menus are searchable so you can quickly find what you're looking for.

If you find any inaccuracies, please report them to me. I was very careful, but there are literally hundreds of recipes, so chances are I made a few mistakes (already caught/fixed some while testing). You can DM me here or on Discord (iwt_explode). You can also reach out on Twitter (@KHVidsNET) or Bluesky (@Kh-Vids.net), I should those as well.

Meld responsibly!
