Kingdom Hearts turns 25 years old in 2027, and Square Enix is already preparing to bring back a familiar piece of the franchise's history. The original Kingdom Hearts introduced Sora, Riku, and Kairi alongside a massive cast of Disney and Final Fantasy characters, setting the stage for all the games that followed. With Kingdom Hearts' 25th anniversary approaching, there's plenty of interest in what Square Enix has planned for the occasion.
Naturally, much of that interest surrounds Kingdom Hearts 4, which remains one of Square Enix's most anticipated upcoming games. Right now, Square Enix is confident it will release Kingdom Hearts 4 in 2027 with no delays, as mentioned during the recent announcement of its Coco world. There's no guarantee of any major announcement tied to both the anniversary and Kingdom Hearts 4 next year, but both should still see plenty coming from Square Enix.
Sora gets his hands on plenty of powerful Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts 1, but some of them are far better at killing Heartless than others.
The first celebratory announcement is the re-release of Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts Traverse Town music box in late 2026 and into 2027, bringing back a collectible that originally launched...
