Nomura Hints at Kingdom Hearts 4 News

Kingdom Hearts 4: The Lost Master Arc and What's to Come

Kingdom Hearts 4, launching the "Lost Master Arc" and heralding the saga's conclusion, has fans buzzing. The 2022 announcement trailer, showcasing Sora in the enigmatic Quadratum (a Shibuya-esque city), ignited speculation about potential new worlds. Theories abound, with some suggesting the inclusion of Star Wars or Marvel locations, expanding the franchise beyond traditional Disney animation.

Square Enix's post-announcement silence has fueled fan analysis of the trailer, searching for clues about the narrative and potential Disney collaborations.

The 15th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (2010) prompted series director Tetsuya Nomura to reflect on the game's "crossroads" theme – pivotal moments of divergence. He subtly linked this theme to the upcoming "Lost Master Arc" in Kingdom Hearts 4, promising further details "another time."

Nomura's Hints on Kingdom Hearts 4

Nomura specifically referenced the final scenes of Kingdom Hearts 3, where the Lost Masters converge. The revelation of Xigbar's true identity as Luxu, a long-observing Keyblade master, adds layers of intrigue. Nomura cryptically alluded to the Lost Masters' exchange – a loss for a gain, echoing the American folklore motif of crossroads – suggesting this pivotal event will be central to Kingdom Hearts 4's narrative.

Nomura's recent comments imply that Kingdom Hearts 4 will resolve the mysteries surrounding the Lost Masters' encounter with Luxu. While much remains unknown, his remarks hint at an imminent reveal, perhaps through a new trailer.
