The 6 Kingdom Hearts 4 Worlds We Want to See — and 4 We Absolutely Don't
Kingdom Hearts has a complicated history of representing Disney worlds, so here's a look at what should and should not be included in KH4.
Kingdom Hearts has a complicated history of representing Disney worlds, so here's a look at what should and should not be included in KH4.
The short version
- Twenty-five years into Kingdom Hearts , Square Enix has yet to establish a reliable formula for how the games represent various Disney worlds.
- Some levels simply insert Sora, Donald, and Goofy into a familiar story from movies like Mulan , Tarzan , or Aladdin .
- Agrabah returned in Kingdom Hearts 2 for a loose adaptation of The Return of Jafar , while Kingdom Hearts 3 used the setting of San Fransokyo to create a bona fide sequel to Big Hero 6 .
What happened
Traditions like a heartfelt romp through 100 Acre Wood with Winnie the Pooh and friends feel mandatory, but beyond those, there’s no telling where Sora might fly his Gummi Ship in Kingdom Hearts 4 — if he has a Gummi Ship at all. If there’s one Disney movie that felt like a glaring omission in Kingdom Hearts 3 , it’s Moana .
Why it matters
The movie hit theaters in November 2016, and the game was released a little more than two years later in January 2019.
