Kingdom Hearts 4 Gets Full Reveal in New D23 Extended Trailer
We learned a lot more about Kingdom Hearts 4 during its D23 panel, including that it'll feature dedicated Mickey Mouse, Donald, and Goofy gameplay
Disney and Square Enix presented an extended gameplay trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 at the Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts panel at D23 2026. The trailer revealed a first look at playable King Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. No one anticipated the surprise appearance of Sora in the world of Pixar's Coco, wielding a Keyblade. This made the appearance of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy as playable characters in the new four-minute trailer all the more surprising.
The gameplay for Goofy and Donald appears to mirror what fans have come to expect from Sora, aside from one segment where they sled through the Underworld. They utilize abilities to fight off Heartless enemies. King Mickey received special attention in the trailer, with a third-person shot switching to origami-like visuals featuring both 2D and 3D gameplay, reminiscent of Nintendo's Paper Mario.
The length of these sections remains to be determined. Another surprise was the appearance of Riku in the video's final moments. The full extended Kingdom Hearts 4 gameplay trailer can be found below. Kingdom Hearts 4 is still slated for a late 2027 release.
