Summary
- Kingdom Hearts fans have waited a very long time for any kind of concrete news on the series.
- It’s been more than 1,000 days since KH4 was revealed, and Missing Link remains indefinitely delayed.
- With the series’ 23rd anniversary happening tomorrow, there’s some renewed hope that we’ll get news.
Kingdom Hearts is celebrating its 23rd anniversary tomorrow, and fans are hopeful that we’ll get some kind of announcement for Kingdom Hearts 4 or even Missing Link to celebrate.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – it’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything concrete about Kingdom Hearts. That statement already felt true when it had just been a year since Square had mentioned Kingdom Hearts 4 or Missing Link, but we’re now well beyond 1,000 days since a proper update on the next mainline game.

With Kingdom Hearts 3 turning six, I’m once again thinking about the game’s mistranslations and how they affect Riku.
While fans are always hopeful (and then inevitably disappointed) that Kingdom Hearts is going to show up at some point and finally give us an update on what’s to come, there’s a more concrete reason to believe this time around. That’s because the series finally turns 23 tomorrow, and that makes it the perfect time for a reveal.
Kingdom Hearts Will Surely Get News For Its Anniversary… Right?
Tomorrow, March 28, marks the 23rd anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, which originally began with the first entry all the way back in 2002. Yep, it’s really been that long since we stepped into Sora’s hideously oversized shoes for the first time. With that milestone in mind, there’s renewed hope for some announcements.
Take Twitter user aitaikimochi, for example, who pointed out that the series is turning 23 tomorrow, just in time for when the Nintendo Direct is going to take place in Japan. While the chances are slim for a Kingdom Hearts announcement at the Direct, the anniversary lining up does make it a bit more possible, especially with hopes that Missing Link becomes more than a mobile game.
Outside of the Direct, fans are just hopeful that the anniversary means we’ll get an update on the series after so long. Considering the original announcement of Kingdom Hearts 4 took place on the 20th anniversary (jesus christ), it does track that we’d get any kind of update. If not, well then we’ll at least all be able to suffer together. For now, though, keep a Gazing Eye out for tomorrow.
