Haley Joel Osment Unaware of Kingdom Hearts 4 Development

Oct 06, 2024 8:56 AM

In a surprising revelation, Haley Joel Osment, the English voice of Sora from Kingdom Hearts, recently disclosed that he was not aware of the ongoing development of Kingdom Hearts IV. Announced during the series' 20th anniversary celebration, the game's progress remains largely under wraps. Osment stated in an interview that he often finds out last due to the voice recording process occurring at the end of development. Despite this, he expressed optimism about the project and the direction of the story under the guidance of series director Tetsuya Nomura, who hinted at wrapping up the narrative satisfactorily. With minimal news since its announcement and the impending release of a related mobile game, fans are left pondering the future of the beloved franchise.

What is the current status of Kingdom Hearts IV?

Kingdom Hearts IV is in development, but specific details are scarce. The game's announcement was made two years ago, and there have been few updates. Voice actor Haley Joel Osment is still awaiting more information, reflecting the series' ongoing mystery.

Kingdom Hearts is a unique action role-playing game series that blends characters and settings from Disney and Square Enix's Final Fantasy franchise. The original game was released in 2002 and quickly became a fan favorite for its engaging story and diverse gameplay. Kingdom Hearts IV aims to continue the epic saga following its predecessor, Kingdom Hearts III, which concluded on a cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for a resolution.
