It's been a rollercoaster ride for Kingdom Hearts fans this past week. After the surprise cancellation of the mobile game Missing-Link, Square Enix has finally released some news about the fourth installment in the main series. And this time, some very concrete news based on new official images! These could even reveal new details about the game's content itself, including the first Disney world to be explored.
A new Disney character recognized in Kingdom Hearts 4
Sqare Enix is spending a crazy amount of time on Kingdom Hearts 4, to the point that the wait since the game's announcement is breaking records. However, things may be starting to take a turn for the better. The publisher wanted to make up for the cancellation of Missing-Link by sharing unpublished images on social media. This communication time shows that the game is still on track and at the same time sheds light on its content.
By paying attention to the new images of Kingdom Hearts 4, we can, for example, have confirmation of the return of certain characters. Sora, the historical hero of the saga, will obviously be back. We can also count on Mickey, who could also reserve a big first for the license. However, Square Enix did not share exactly the same visuals between its Western and Japanese X.com accounts. However, the second could reveal a clue about a Disney universe in the game.
If we take a closer look at the Kingdom Hearts 4 gameplay screenshot, one detail will catch the attention of even the most seasoned Disney fans. In fact, if we focus on the Heartless that Sora faces on the left of the image, we notice a flying character. However, it could come from a Disney animated film that is less well-known than the great classics, but still appreciated: Meet the Robinsons.
This character would be none other than Doris, a robotic bowler hat with great intelligence. In the Disney film, the machine is capable of flying and uses its "legs" in several ways. The image of Kingdom Hearts 4 could therefore stick. It remains to be seen whether the game will actually introduce the characters from Meet the Robinsons or if it will be a simple nod. Still, the futuristic side of the film could fit with the plot of the world of Quadratum, illustrated in this screenshot.
