Though Kingdom Hearts 4’s 2022 announcement trailer was built in Unreal Engine 4, at the time, director Tetsuya Nomura said its next trailer would showcase Unreal Engine 5 footage.
So far, Square Enix itself has said little about Kingdom Hearts 4, when it will release, or even what platforms it will be available on.
Interestingly enough, however, Kingdom Hearts 4 might actually be closer to launch than some may have expected.
It is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, which, according to its developers, will allow its visual quality to be “several levels higher” than past instalments.
