“We’re thrilled to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary with the announcement of two new KINGDOM HEARTS titles. We’d like to thank the fans for all of their support over the years, and we can’t wait for them to experience all that’s to come for Sora and his friends,” said Kingdom Hearts series brand manager Ichiro Hazama.

“Kingdom Hearts IV” will take place in the city of Quadratum, Square Enix said in a press release. In the trailer, fans witnessed the first appearance of Strelitzia, a mysterious new character who appears before Sora in this strange new setting.

“Kingdom Hearts” enthusiasts are itching to find out what’s next for Sora as the Keyblade wielder explores unknown escapades, but an official release date for “Kingdom Hearts IV” hasn’t been announced yet.
