King­dom Hearts IV kicks off a new sto­ry­line for the fran­chise, with Sora return­ing, through you’ll see in the trail­er that he’s look­ing a bit dif­fer­ent. The actu­al­ly por­tion of the trail­er that con­tains KHIV begins on the 4:07 mark:

The trail­er show­cas­es some quick glimpses of game­play with Sora fight­ing against a giant shad­ow mon­ster in the cen­ter of a city street. The new loca­tion is called Quad­ra­tum, which Square Enix has described as a “large, expan­sive city set in a gor­geous, real­is­tic world unlike any­thing ever seen before” in the King­dom Hearts universe.

No more details were shared on Quad­ra­tum or the over­all game­play or sto­ry. Don­ald and Goofy will also be return­ing to KHIV, along with a new,“mysterious” char­ac­ter named Strelitzia. 

There’s no word on what plat­forms KHIV will be avail­able on, although King­dom Hearts 3 was even­tu­al­ly released for PS4, Xbox One, Nin­ten­do Switch, and PC.

Along­side word of the next core entry in the series, Square Enix used the anniver­sary event announced a new mobile game called King­dom Hearts Miss­ing-Link for iOS and Android, which was also shown in the trail­er montage.
