Kingdom Hearts 4 Appears in 2027 Retail Listing Ahead of Nintendo Switch 2 Launch
Kingdom Hearts 4 made a surprise appearance during a recent Nintendo Direct presentation, but Square Enix did not attach a formal release date.

Now, an Australian retail listing for an upcoming Kingdom Hearts Collection explicitly references Kingdom Hearts IV with a 2027 arrival window.
What the Australian listing says (rewritten)
An Australian retail entry for the Kingdom Hearts Collection states that players can "play through the full KINGDOM HEARTS series in one comprehensive package before the release of KINGDOM HEARTS IV in 2027," and positions the collection as an accessible, definitive edition for newcomers and returning fans at a newly accessible price point.
