Creative director Tatsuya Nomura assured players that the release date will not be delayed, despite finalizing the release window. The Mexican realm featured in the trailer is likely inspired by the 2017 Pixar movie Coco, a film about a young boy yearning to play the guitar.
Kingdom Hearts 4's plot follows Sora's journey to find his way back to his own world. Along the way, he encounters fast-paced battles, combo-building mechanics, and strategic keyblade switching. A PC release for Donald Duck and Goofy's adventure in hell is also confirmed, available on Steam.
