A well-known leaker on X (formerly Twitter) has again put rumors about the Kingdom Hearts franchise into the spotlight, claiming that the entire series — including the upcoming Kingdom Hearts IV — could appear on Nintendo’s next console, widely referred to in coverage as Switch 2.
The claim, posted by the account known as Midori on May 21, 2024, renews public interest in how Square Enix will allocate high-profile IP across platforms.
Background and platform history
Kingdom Hearts is a long-running action-RPG franchise developed by Square Enix in collaboration with Disney, first released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2.
The series has historically been associated with PlayStation platforms, though Square Enix has expanded availability in recent years: Kingdom Hearts titles are currently offered on Nintendo Switch as cloud-based streaming releases via the Nintendo eShop.
Square Enix has also released later entries on multiple platforms, and Kingdom Hearts III launched in 2019 to broad commercial attention.
What Midori posted (rewritten)
In a post made on May 21, 2024, the leaker said that the Kingdom Hearts catalog and the upcoming Kingdom Hearts IV may be targeted for Nintendo’s next hardware.
Paraphrasing the claim: Midori suggested the entire Kingdom Hearts series and Kingdom Hearts IV could come to the next-gen Nintendo system commonly called Switch 2.
Context and verification
Midori previously shared claims about Square Enix projects — some involving Final Fantasy titles — that circulated widely in gaming media.
Those past posts make Midori a recurrent source of unconfirmed leaks, but they do not constitute official announcements.
As of publication, neither Square Enix nor Nintendo has confirmed any plans to bring Kingdom Hearts IV or the full Kingdom Hearts series to new Nintendo hardware.
What is verified: Kingdom Hearts is developed and published by Square Enix; the franchise originated in 2002; Kingdom Hearts III was released in 2019; several Kingdom Hearts titles are available on the Nintendo eShop via cloud streaming.
Any movement of Kingdom Hearts IV or additional ports to future Nintendo hardware remains unconfirmed until official statements from Square Enix or Nintendo.
For now, the Midori post is a claim that merits attention given the leaker’s past activity, but it should be treated as rumor until Square Enix or Nintendo provide official details.
