Kingdom Hearts is a long-running action role-playing game series made by Square Enix in partnership with Disney. Players control Sora, a young hero who travels between worlds based on Disney and Pixar films, fighting enemies with help from characters such as Donald Duck and Goofy.
Coco is Pixar’s 2017 animated film about Miguel, a boy who enters the Land of the Dead and learns about his family’s history. Its setting and characters give Kingdom Hearts another film-inspired world for Sora to explore.
The fourth main Kingdom Hearts game has been anticipated since it was announced in 2022, after the previous numbered game was released in 2019. The series is known for combining Disney stories with Square Enix’s original characters and a continuing plot about connected worlds.
