Disney has confirmed a dedicated Kingdom Hearts panel for this year’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, scheduling a spotlight on the long-running action-RPG series as it reaches a major milestone.
The panel, titled “Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts,” is framed as a 25th-anniversary commemoration that will bring together creative staff and voice talent to discuss the franchise’s history and development.
According to Disney’s announcement, the “Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts” presentation will celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary and offer attendees a look at how the property brought together Disney, Pixar, and Square Enix.
The event description promises insights from the game’s creative team and voice actors, and other contributors who have shaped the franchise.
D23 will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center from August 14 through August 16.
The Kingdom Hearts panel is slated for August 15 at 4:30 p.m.
PT, according to the program schedule released by D23 organizers.
Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts franchise began in 2002 as a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney and has expanded across multiple platforms and spin-offs over the past two and a half decades.
The series’ mainline and compilation releases have been a consistent presence in discussions about platform support and preservation within the industry.
Square Enix has previously announced Kingdom Hearts IV, but the publisher has not provided a release date for the upcoming mainline entry.
It remains unclear whether the D23 panel will include new information on Kingdom Hearts IV or other future projects; D23’s program notes focus primarily on the anniversary celebration and the participation of franchise creators and voice talent.
Fans and industry observers can expect D23 coverage to surface any official reveals or guest appearances from the Kingdom Hearts team.
For those tracking platform and release news, developers and publishers typically use major events like D23 to share confirmed details, but until the panel occurs, no additional announcements should be assumed.
