Before we begin, we list all the games of the saga in chronological order of release and then we will explain everything in more detail. Although there are those who prefer the chronological order of events, since the most widely accepted option is the order of release, we will base our parameters on that order. ![]() Nevertheless, there are so many installments available and so many opinions about the order to play them that we are going to try to give you a hand to choose what suits you best, from the original PlayStation 2 game to the very same Kingdom Hearts III DLC, ReMind. If you plan to play Kingdom Hearts (or replay the series) in its entirety, in this article we tell you what is the most appropriate order to play the saga. Sora and company were part of the teenage years of millions of people, fans who grew up in what was once a dream come true: to visit the Disney worlds in an original, charismatic, fun story. The first title in the series, originally published on PlayStation 2, was the trigger for one of the most successful Japanese Action RPG sagas of all time. ![]() Don’t be surprised to see a KH3.2 final max deluxe come out somewhere between now and KH4 release to remind people the series exists again.Kingdom Hearts celebrated its twentieth anniversary last year, on March 28th. There will obviously be other games released in the next 3.5 years outside of the few games I’ve mentioned but none with the budget and marketing of those few.ĭoes this mean they showcased the game too early ? Well yes, probably but that’s the secondary issue, with how much money and people are needed to make these things now they need to share what’s being made super early to have enough people to make the game and also to remind people to buy a PS5 to play it. ![]() Obviously one could argue these titles are all going after different age groups and audiences and may not galvanize sales but after some people had their eyes opened by what western games cost to make today, well the sad reality is that ANY risk mitigation will be considered worth it at this point I think. As such and perhaps sadly for KH fans, I just don’t see it coming out within 6 months of the last game on the above schedule - in other words late September 2025 through to March 31st 2026 is likely the window I’d expect to see this game release. What does all this have to do with KH4 ? Well I’m just wagering a guess here that it’s also considered a major pillar of squares release schedule. It’s just as easy for me to see it get bumped into next April too (mirroring FF7RM back in 2020).įinally, dragon quest 12 is another heavy hitter release being published under square Enix that I feel strongly will make it out the door somewhere prior to March 31st 2025, it may even be the first entry in series history to get a world wide release date ! Next up is FF7 rebirth which was aiming for a December release but is now likely looking at Q1 2024 release/ by March 31st to keep it in this fiscal year. I think FF16 was intended to be out before March 31st of this year but thanks to a larger budget it only suffered a roughly 3 month delay. I have 90% confidence that Forspoken was really supposed to be a late fiscal 2021 game (like before March 31st 2022) and pandemic delays and game quality issues pushed it out almost a year. Square seems to be pushing towards one huge game a fiscal year now, there were obviously some delays for everything largely due to the pandemic but I feel things are finally back on track.
