Oh No, Disney Is Paying Attention To Kingdom Hearts Now

Kingdom Hearts has a big year coming up with its new animated Disney+ series and Kingdom Hearts IV finally launching in late 2027. Disney has confirmed that the franchise has made over a billion dollars since it began in 2002, and so logically you’d expect that it would want more Sora, Riku, and Kairi. However, given that Kingdom Hearts’ ongoing story has ostensibly been building up to a conclusion, is the news that Disney really wants to dive further into the series a good thing?

In an interview with 4Gamer (translated by GamesRadar+), Disney director of games Nana Gadd said that the company still has a lot it wants to do with Square Enix’s Final Fantasy and Disney crossover, and that it’s only just starting with the animated series.

“Even though Kingdom Hearts has been around for 25 years, there are so many things we want to do,” says Gadd. “The announcement of the animated series is truly just the first step.”

I love me some Kingdom Hearts, but given just how meticulously the series has been laying the tracks for its notoriously complex story to head to some kind of conclusion, the thought that Disney might see it as a well to constantly draw from makes me worry. It’s especially concerning when you consider how Disney has been running its IP into the ground with shoddy live-action remakes and the oversaturation of series like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars.

“We butchered Star Wars beyond recognition, people are getting tired of the MCU, and no one likes our awful remakes of our beloved animated classics.
