Kingdom Hearts 4 News Teased by Tetsuya Nomura

Kingdom Hearts 4: The "Lost Master Arc" and What Lies Ahead

The highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 4, unveiled in 2022, initiates the "Lost Master Arc," a storyline described as the beginning of the end for the beloved saga. The initial trailer showcased Sora in the enigmatic Quadratum, a Shibuya-inspired city, setting the stage for a new chapter.

Square Enix's relative silence following the trailer has fueled fan speculation. Intriguing details within the footage have led to theories about the inclusion of Star Wars or Marvel worlds, expanding the series' Disney collaborations beyond traditional animated properties.

Adding to the anticipation, Tetsuya Nomura, Kingdom Hearts co-creator, recently marked the 15th anniversary of Birth By Sleep. His social media post highlighted the game's use of "crossroads," pivotal moments of divergence. He subtly connected this theme to the upcoming "Lost Master Arc" in Kingdom Hearts 4, teasing a future story reveal.

Nomura's cryptic comments specifically referenced the Lost Masters' convergence in Kingdom Hearts 3's final scenes, revealing Xigbar's true identity as Luxu. He hinted at the Masters' exchange—a loss for a gain—mirroring the American folklore concept of crossroads.

Nomura's recent remarks suggest Kingdom Hearts 4 may finally answer the lingering question of what the Lost Masters sacrificed and gained in their encounter with Luxu. While much remains unknown, Nomura's comments hint at an imminent update, potentially a new trailer, further illuminating the game's mysteries.
