Square Enix and Disney announced<\/a> Kingdom Hearts 4 at the Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary event in 2022, giving us a fresh new look at Sora and what he\u2019s been up to after he left his friends for a solo adventure at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. To no one\u2019s surprise, there haven\u2019t been many updates for the sequel since then, but its recent appearance at a Nintendo Direct<\/a> affirmed the game’s continued development.<\/p>\n

While we wait for more updates and a potential release date for Kingdom Hearts 4<\/u><\/a>, we\u2019re giving you a list of Kingdom Hearts games to play in chronological order. As convoluted as the series\u2019 plot may be, this list should give you a clear perspective on the history of the Kingdom Hearts world, how Sora was set up to be the Keyblade\u2019s chosen one, and how Master Xehanort keeps trying to plunge the world into darkness, hence the name of the series\u2019 first arc: the Dark Seeker Saga.<\/p>\n
