Tetsuya Nomura makes it clear that there are more projects underway outside of Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road; one of them will arrive "very soon," he says.
Tetsuya Nomura, creator of Kingdom Hearts, has confirmed that there are currently two new video games in the series in development. In words to Dengeki PlayStation, the father of the series has made it clear that there are more titles in the works aside from Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road, the recently announced game for mobile devices.
In addition, it confirms that one of those two new videogames – in which other Square Enix teams are working in parallel – will arrive “very soon”; Although the platform or platforms have not transcended, neither gender nor specific date.
The news confirms the purpose of Nomura declared at the beginning of this year 2020, when he stated that there were two separate teams dedicated to working on Kingdom Hearts series games, only on that occasion they neither confirmed nor denied that they were working on new tickets themselves. It is unknown if any of these projects may be a HD compilation of previous works for other platforms, such as the numerous rumored 1.5 + 2.5 REMIX for Nintendo Switch, which remains mere speculation today. Another possibility is that they are separate sequels for consoles now that the numbered trilogy has been concluded, as we have already seen on consoles such as GBA, NDS, PSP or Nintendo 3DS in the past.
