The first look at Kingdom Hearts 4 in three years isn't a trailer, but a JPEG of Mickey Mouse is better than nothing

At slightest Sora and a, uh, rotary telephone are determination too

You cognize what got announced a small implicit 3 years agone now? Kingdom Hearts 4. You cognize what hasn't had a azygous caller trailer successful that time? Ding ding ding! If you said Kingdom Hearts 4, you don't triumph thing due to the fact that the absorption of this spot was beauteous obvious. The crippled inactive doesn't person a caller trailer, by the way, but the series' authoritative Blue Sky relationship did ohio truthful generously connection up a fistful of screenshots contiguous which bash amusement disconnected immoderate caller bits (mostly).

In the brace of posts, Square Enix wrote that they're "currently moving hard connected Kingdom Hearts IV and volition proceed pouring ourselves into the game’s development. We’re dedicated to making this an acquisition that lives up to your expectations! We’ve seen however excited you are, and we are genuinely grateful from the bottommost of our hearts. We are arsenic excited and can’t hold to stock much astir Kingdom Hearts IV erstwhile the clip is right. Until then, we admit your patience. Thank you for your continued support."

In presumption of the screenshots themselves, there's champion lad Sora successful his real-world look skating on immoderate chains successful a city, with immoderate Heartless-like enemies beneath him. There's Strelitzia, the miss you would person seen successful the archetypal trailer, and a quality that volition mean perfectly thing to you if you haven't played the mobile game. There's a mates much shots of Sora just… lasting around. All successful all, there's 2 really notable screenshots.

One is the information that you get to play arsenic Mickey Mouse again, who's cheekily hanging retired connected apical of a chandelier successful a library. This'll apt beryllium Scala advertisement Caelum, the past satellite you sojourn successful Kingdom Hearts 3, arsenic Mr. Michael Mouse was sent determination astatine the extremity of Melody of Memory (that's right, adjacent the bushed crippled has important cutscenes).

The different screenshot, interestingly, is of an aged rotary phone. A fewer radical judge this mightiness beryllium thing akin to a upwind phone. These are often disconnected rotary phones recovered successful the mediate of nowhere, wherever radical person one-way conversations with a loved 1 that's passed on. The inclination of utilizing them started successful Japan too, and considering what happens to Sora astatine the extremity of Kingdom Hearts 3, I'm inclined to bargain into this one.

If you're wondering wherefore Square Enix showed disconnected these caller screenshots connected a random Wednesday successful May, it'll apt beryllium to bash with the information the developer cancelled the series' adjacent introduction Missing Link conscionable yesterday. This 1 was acceptable to beryllium a Pokemon Go-like mobile RPG wherever you could marque your ain character. I ideate this cancellation has thing to bash with Square Enix's multiplatform program they established past year, a constituent it doubled down connected during its latest fiscal results.

Any which way, I'll instrumentality a JPEG of a rotary telephone and Mickey Mouse implicit silence. Thanks Nomura/ Square Enix's societal squad who astir apt stressed that they needed thing to placate people!
