<\/section>\n

Jared Bush, chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios, spoke about the possibility of a Kingdom Hearts feature film, and he didn\u2019t rule out the idea.<\/p>\n

Kingdom Hearts<\/a> fans are on top of the world after footage of the fourth game was shown off at D23. Sora and the gang are back to fight the heartless, which are wreaking havoc in the Land of the Dead. Coco\u2019s<\/a> universe is an explorable world in Kingdom Hearts IV<\/a>, and Sora even gets a keyblade themed after H\u00e9ctor’s Guitar, along with some calavera facepaint to match.<\/p>\n

A Kingdom Hearts animated series<\/a> was also announced at the event, coming to Disney+ on an as-yet undetermined date. With these two big reveals in mind, IGN\u2019s Jeffrey Vega quizzed Walt Disney Animation Studios\u2019 Jared Bush if there\u2019s anything more planned for the Kingdom Hearts world on Disney\u2019s side of things\u2026 specifically, a feature-length animated film.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cAre we ever gonna get a Kingdom Hearts movie?\u201d Vega asked, going on to joke that Bush basically has the power to \u201cgreenlight\u201d the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnically, you\u2019re not wrong,\u201d Bush answered. \u201cI\u2019d say, I\u2019m always excited to hear what people are passionate about. And I\u2019d say that we have a very bright future of new projects coming out \u2014 different ways of putting material out into the world. So I would just say, nothing is impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bush\u2019s response was, as expected, quite reserved, but his open-ended answer leaves no end of possibilities to the imagination. Given all the good news fans just got about the franchise, specifically the animated show, the idea of a full-length CGI movie following Sora\u2019s adventures doesn\u2019t seem so impossible now… especially since Disney recently bragged that Kingdom Hearts is one of its “billion-dollar franchises<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Kingdom Hearts IV is scheduled for release in late 2027. Combat footage from Coco\u2019s section of the game seen at D23 shows Sora using the keyblade as a kind of skateboard as he follows a flying heartless, to which he\u2019s tethered by a glowing chain. Graphically, the game looks absolutely stunning, with the endless city of the dead giving an impressive depth to the environment.<\/p>\n

This most recent trailer also showed off Mickey, Goofy, and our iconic king of the underworld, Hades, as well as a few glimpses of some story beats that take place in Quadratum, a realistic city inspired by modern-day Tokyo \u2014 an area that was also shown in the game’s surprise trailer at the June 2026 Nintendo Direct.<\/a><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the last we\u2019ll see of Kingdom Hearts IV this weekend; the game will also be discussed on August 15 in a panel titled \u2018DEEP DIVE into KINGDOM HEARTS<\/a> at D23,\u2019 streaming at 4.30pm PT \/ 7.30pm ET \/ August 16 at 12.30 AM UK time. Disney has confirmed that it will feature a \u201cbehind-the-scenes look at the making of the games,\u201d with names like Nana Gadd from Disney & Pixar Games, Tai Yasue from Square Enix, Haley Joel Osment, the voice of Sora, David Gallagher, the voice of Riku, and Ren\u00e9e Johnson, who voices some of the Disney-specific characters.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

In the meantime, keep it locked to IGN for more news coming out of D23 this weekend, and check out everything that got announced<\/a> at the event\u2019s big presentation at the Honda Center on August 14.<\/p>\n
