Extas1s, who is admittedly a hit or miss leaker, claims to have a scoop on Square Enix‘s plans for the much-loved Kingdom Hearts video game franchise. Extas1s says that the team at Square Enix is currently busy remaking the original Kingdom Hearts game for Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. We haven’t heard anything as of late on the visually impressive Kingdom Hearts 4, but Extas1s says the Japanese company is aiming for a winter 2027 release and is looking to release the Kingdom Hearts Remake in early 2027. Extas1s claims he has received images from the Kingdom Hearts Remake, which he says will include a new Jungle Book World. However, he has yet to post the images online.
Extas1s: Kingdom Hearts Remake coming early 2027 and Kingdom Hearts 4 in winter 2027
But where’s Kingdo… Oh nvm. Cool!
Not happening this is fake Square has said they won’t be releasing multiple games til post 2027. FF7 will get 2027 all to itself as their only AAA game.
It also makes no sense remaking 1 given the collection seems to be coming and Union X and Dark Road make more sense to get remakes given how they pertain to the story moving forward unlike 1. Makes even less sense to take thunder away from the final part of FF7 remake and even worse undercut multiple AAA titles not enough space to breathe not to mention a remake of 1 doesn’t directly lead to 4 not a good jumping on point for a newcomer to understand 4.
It makes little sense to reveal 3 big AAA games for 2027 this year so I don’t believe it also to reassure shareholder trust they would have revealed it by now at least 4.
I know the reveal trailer was almost 4 years ago but it’s weird if this is true since the wait and hype cycle for Kingdom Hearts 3 took so long since there was always a new trailer every few months.
KH3 hype was years and we got 2.8 the momentum was built better this is just bad and I assume false. 1 does NOT need a remake Union X and Dark Road need remakes the most and 4 I have to wonder about. Missing Link was cancelled and was supposed to be a huge part of 4 so what happens to that because 4 will have people lost unless the Missing Link ties are cut or repurposed most assumed as a new game or something 2.8 like. 358 would also justify a remake more.
Yeah trailers kept coming out it wasn’t 1 gameplay trailer them ghost for 4 years this is false. If true I smell another Square flop on the way and they have no one to blame but themselves also if they remake 1 why release the collection? A collection is set for Switch 2. It would have been better to release trailers in late 2025 for 2027 release then now it’s too late and FF7 Part 3 is going to get the marketing wave this year for 2027 releasing 3 AAA titles is way out the wheelhouse for them now and could devastate the company 3 big flops
KH3 is trash and 2.8 made things worse, love the song but in 3D introduces TWEWY hinting they are in 3 yet they are not and Sora is not in Shibuya for 4, the Aqua storyline is dumb because they just left her to rot knowing she was there the whole time meanwhile Ansem escaped multiple times why can’t she? The Foretellers I like but will 4 handle them properly. It’s more reason why Union and Dark Road should be remade into console games to better understand those stories they are also not in the collection rumored for release. Even more dumb Aqua goes back into the ream of darkness in 3 to search for Sora who is not there. I would say instead of wasting resources on remaking 1 if this was true waste resources to make 5 so there is no long wait period
Union X and Dark Road need the remakes not 1 and should have gotten it before 4 came out especially now that they’re delisted also Missing Link which was cancelled and was supposed to be integral to 4’s story.
Lies. Also KH1 does not need a remake 358 fans have wanted one would make sense and the games that deserves it to most are Union X and Dark Road complete remake with gameplay changed and cutscenes. No way KH4 comes out 2027 pr a remake that is all FF7’s year also weird to do a reveal now
Why remake 1 when a collection is coming out it makes no sense even worse to do it the same year as FF7 part 3 the amount of money they would waste marketing or worse FF7 will get promoted then these 2 just get thrown to the side. With missing link canned I would assume 4 would be retooled to not need that story I truly believe the game was scrapped in 2023 or 2024 and restarted development which is why they are so quiet same way DQ12 has had issues and is quiet too.
Cancel this and give us FF7 part 4
No one but you wants part 4 and no 3 will be the final part it is being hyped as such. If you don’t like this why are you here? Go play FF7 remake on Switch 2 or is it that bad?
First off the FF team and KH teams are in separate cities so 2 different teams, second you do know slot of FF7 remake came from KH right like Nomura’s redesign of Sephiroth adding the black wing or even Zack’s whole story KH mysteriously introduces him and many assume FF7 remake is part of KH when Sephiroth and Cloud disappear in KH2 believing part 3 will lead to KH4 and them coming back. Reminder Nomura was in charge of both.
No PC release? This seems super fake and no hype built up? Jungle Book was supposed to be in BBS what are they having it replace Tarzan if so that creates uproar and with Tarzan being public domain now can’t they use it? This is fake momentum for FF7 is set for part 3 in 2027 not KH if they do this watch it flop hard and cost them more money.
Is Tarzan in the PC ports and collections if so why not in here?
Insiders are desperate for stories now and attention making anything up. This is not happening. Reminder Midori was also wrong on all Square things like KH4 releasing in 2026 or reveals at D23. This guy seems to be another clout chasing goblin like the rest of them.
That is weird ajd also what has this guy gotten right? FF7 part 3 releases in early 2027 my guess and remaking KH1 not the best move then 4 at the end of the year really strange with no promotion already I mean 7 has not gotten any either for part 3 no reveal. Remaking 1 makes less sense given that 4 and 1 are not super tied together the games that are tied to it would be Dark Road and Union X the mobile games that are now delisted and really need that kind of remake proper KH combat and gameplay with voice acting and cutscenes.
