While the trailer was just rendered in Unreal Engine 4, Famitsu claims the main game will be developed with the next upgraded version with the quality of lighting and detail in higher levels. Expect the upcoming gameplay clips and trailers to blow the minds of fans.
There have been claims that the upcoming sequel is being developed by the Osaka studio of Square Enix, which were the ones who made Kingdom Hearts 3. This studio was led by Co-Director Yasushi Yasue.
During the 20th Anniversary event, it is claimed that KH Series Director Tetsuya Nomura had plans to make a real game that was based on Verum Rex. For those uninformed, this was a video game that was only in KH3’s Toy Box world. He wanted to make it real, but he actually made it into something else, which created Kingdom Hearts 4 instead.
