Rumors surrounding a potential remake of the beloved Kingdom Hearts series by Square Enix have dominated online discussions in recent weeks, following bold claims from community leakers.
The speculation grew after notable leaker Extas1s said he had seen photographic proof of a new Kingdom Hearts Remake project in development—a tantalizing prospect for fans of the long-running action RPG franchise originally launched in 2002.
However, a fresh wave of scrutiny has hit these rumors after so-called screenshots of a title named 'Kingdom Hearts Relux' surfaced online, purportedly providing the first look at the supposed remake.
The images were publicly posted by X user Dani Agudo, who commented that the authenticity of these screenshots is not credible.
According to Agudo, the origin and quality of the images raise significant doubts about their legitimacy and accuracy, leaving no substantial evidence to support ongoing remake rumors. In response to the circulating images, Dani Agudo stated, "We are officially considering the rumor of the alleged Kingdom Hearts remake to be closed.
Just as anticipated, the material is completely falsified." He elaborated further, remarking, "These were the screenshots shared with the leaker.
There are so many irregularities that I won’t even dissect them—there’s simply no point anymore." Additional skepticism came from industry insider NateDrake, a respected voice in the gaming leaks community, who recently mentioned that he had no knowledge of a Kingdom Hearts Remake being in development at Square Enix.
This aligns with Square Enix's official silence on the matter and the absence of any confirmed announcements regarding a new Kingdom Hearts title during recent Nintendo Direct showcases or industry events. The Kingdom Hearts franchise, known for its crossovers with Disney and original Square Enix characters, has enjoyed consistent popularity on various platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and recently, the Nintendo Switch via cloud releases.
Since the official debut of Kingdom Hearts on the Nintendo Switch through the cloud-based Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece collection in February 2022, fans have eagerly awaited updates on the series’ future direction.
However, as it stands, there is no verifiable information—screenshots or otherwise—concerning a Kingdom Hearts Remake currently in production for any hardware, including the Nintendo Switch. For now, fans are encouraged to enjoy the existing releases in the series and await any future news directly from Square Enix through official channels or Nintendo Direct presentations.
As always, it is recommended to approach unverified leaks and online rumors with caution, particularly when so-called evidence is unsubstantiated or proven to be fabricated.
