Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link returned in a big way this weekend in the form of its full intro cinematic being leaked online!

Following the cancellation of Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link, Square Enix finally gave us a new look at Kingdom Hearts IV last night with seven new screenshots of the game.

Three years after its initial announcement, Square Enix has announced that Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link has been canceled.
It’s been three years since Kingdom Hearts IV was first announced, and we still haven’t received an update on the game. Many in the community have been angry and worried by the lack of news, but I think we need to take a step back and relax. Let’s talk about this Kingdom Hearts IV “news drought.”
Kingdom Hearts is a special series to me. Not only has it played a key role in molding me into the person I am today, but it’s also been a constant source of comfort for me throughout my life. With that in mind, I decided to go back to six key games from the franchise, some of which I haven’t played in a long time, in a series I call Revisiting Kingdom Hearts to see what I think of them in the year 2024. Have my feelings changed about each game over the years? Am I able to take away anything new from them that I didn’t before? How does any one game compare to the rest of the series? These are the kinds of questions I’ll be asking myself as I work my way through the franchise. In part five of this series, I’ll be talking about Dream Drop Distance, and my newfound love for this underrated game.
Tetsuya Nomura was interviewed by Japanese magazine Young Jump and has finally broken his long silence on Kingdom Hearts IV and Missing Link, but his comments have surprised the community. Will he be retiring soon? Is the series coming to an end before he retires, or will it continue without him? Let’s look over his comments that were translated by KH13 and talk about them!
