Has Kingdom Hearts 4 Started English Voice Recording? Could the Awaited New Game Come Sooner Than We Think?

Not much. The game was announced in 2022, and then there was basic silence. However, Square Enix recently posted a set of screenshots showing things like Sora in combat, Mickey Mouse in what looks like a creepy clock tower, and perhaps most intriguing of all, an old-fashioned telephone. Why did Square Enix decide to share a picture of an old-style phone? Perhaps it carries some importance, or perhaps Square Enix is trolling the fans. In any case, the screenshots renewed fans’ excitement about the game, and this news will likely get them even more hyped.

However . . .

We also shouldn’t take this as a sign that the game has a release date or that it is coming anytime soon. As any gamer knows, delays are all too common in the industry. We also shouldn’t take one voice actor’s word as actual confirmation that the voice recording has begun. “In the last year” could simply mean that he was cast last year and that recording hasn’t yet started.

Conclusion

We might learn more about Kingdom Hearts 4 at next week’s Summer Game Fest, or we might not. No matter what happens, the fanbase will patiently wait for more information and leap on any rumors that develop. Who knows? Perhaps gamers will get to go adventuring with Sora and Mickey sooner than we think.
