Summary
A reliable leaker is suggesting that theKingdom Heartsseries could have serious representation on the tentatively named Nintendo Switch 2 in the form of the upcomingKingdom Hearts 4and ports of the rest of the series so far. The past few weeks have been an exciting time for fans of Square Enix’s Disney/Final Fantasycrossover RPG series, as it was announced thatKingdom Heartsis finally coming to Steam on June 13. Additionally, unconfirmed leaks forKingdom Hearts 4have started to surface, as well as word of aKingdom Heartsmovie.
Another long-hoped-for thing that has gamers excited for the future isNintendo’s next mainline console, which was finally confirmed after years of rumor and speculation back in May. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa told players that an official reveal of this anticipated system will happen sometime before March 2025, though he also shot down the possibility of it taking place during the upcoming June Nintendo Direct presentation. Nonetheless, fans are still speculating on other details about the Switch successor, particularly its hardware specifications and the games that might be available to play on it during those vital early days of its lifespan.
Video game rumor leaker Midori, who has previously postedtidbits aboutKingdom Hearts 4and a supposed crossover betweenKingdom HeartsandFortnite, recently claimed that the series might have a major presence on the Nintendo Switch successor. In addition toKingdom Hearts 4, Midori says that ports of the pastKHgames could be available on the new console, following a rumor about the previously mentioned Steam ports being in development since last summer.
Switch 2 Could Have The Entire Kingdom Hearts Series In Time For KH 4
The olderKingdom Heartsgames might not be the only classics given a new coat of paint on Nintendo’s next console, as Midori also once claimed that the Big N was working on anenhanced version ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildfor its upcoming Switch follow-up. Additionally, Midori says that all of Sega’s planned remakes could be released on the Switch 2, including the five classic titles that Sega announced revivals for during The Game Awards 2023 back in December.
TheKingdom Heartsseries has seen plenty of representation on Nintendo hardware in the past thanks tohandheld entries likeKH 358/2 DaysandKH 3D: Dream Drop Distance, as well as Sora being the final playable DLC character in the Switch-exclusiveSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, if this latest rumor from Midori is true, then the legendaryKingdom Heartsseries could have a far greater presence on Nintendo’s next, currently unnamed console.
