Amid ongoing anticipation for the Kingdom Hearts franchise, recent rumors about a potential Kingdom Hearts Remake in development at Square Enix have been swiftly denied by reliable gaming industry insiders.
The initial speculation began when the leaker known as Extas1s claimed in a video that he had photographic evidence suggesting Square Enix was actively working on a remake of the beloved action RPG, Kingdom Hearts—a series acclaimed for its combination of Disney and Square Enix characters, and widely recognized for its impact on role-playing games on platforms like the Nintendo Switch. Kingdom Hearts, developed by Square Enix, has maintained a dedicated global fanbase since its debut in 2002 on earlier platforms, eventually expanding to include releases on the Nintendo Switch via cloud versions and frequent appearances in Nintendo Direct presentations.
The possibility of a full remake generated significant social media buzz, especially within Nintendo and PlayStation communities eager for more Kingdom Hearts content on modern hardware. Responding to these remake claims, respected industry insider NateTheHate addressed the rumors through a public statement.
Paraphrasing his remarks, NateTheHate affirmed that he had observed widespread community discussion, but emphasized that "multiple credible insiders" have dismissed the alleged Kingdom Hearts Remake as unfounded.
He cautioned fans about the authenticity of such leaks, reinforcing the importance of relying on official announcements directly from Square Enix or Nintendo platforms such as the Nintendo Direct or the official eShop channels. Square Enix, a company renowned for best-selling franchises like Final Fantasy in addition to Kingdom Hearts, has yet to issue any comment regarding the development of a Kingdom Hearts Remake.
The publisher is currently known to be developing Kingdom Hearts 4, announced in 2022, which remains one of the most awaited titles in the series.
With no verified information on a remake, players and industry veterans alike are encouraged to await concrete updates from Square Enix on upcoming releases. The success of the Kingdom Hearts series, including recent sales milestones for the cloud versions on the Nintendo Switch, underscores the significant demand for franchise expansions and remakes.
However, verified sources currently dispel the notion of an active remake project, redirecting audience interest toward the long-anticipated Kingdom Hearts 4.
For the latest, confirmed news on Square Enix titles, fans are advised to follow official channels and platforms such as upcoming Nintendo Direct events and the Nintendo eShop announcements.
