During the June 9 Nintendo Direct, Square Enix made two announcements that significantly expand the Kingdom Hearts series' presence on Nintendo hardware. The company revealed that Kingdom Hearts IV will launch on Nintendo Switch 2, alongside previously announced PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions. The announcement included a new trailer showing protagonist Sora fighting in Quadratum, a world resembling modern Tokyo, marking the first significant update on the game since its initial reveal in April 2022. No release date was provided.
Square Enix also announced the Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III], a bundle that includes Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind. The collection and its individual titles will launch on October 8 for Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The Switch 2 versions run natively on the hardware, moving away from the cloud-only versions previously available on the original Nintendo Switch. Players who owned the cloud versions can transfer their save data and receive a discounted upgrade price.
