Nintendo has confirmed that Kingdom Hearts IV is heading to the Switch 2. The news comes from an official Nintendo announcement that simply states «Thy kingdom come.» No additional details were provided, but the listing makes it clear that Square Enix’s next mainline entry in the series will land on Nintendo’s new hardware.
A Long Wait for Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts IV was first revealed in 2022 during the series’ 20th anniversary event, with a trailer that introduced a more realistic art style and a new world. Since then, updates have been sparse. The game is expected to continue Sora’s story after the events of Kingdom Hearts III and its Re Mind DLC, but Square Enix has yet to confirm a release window or full platform list. The Switch 2 confirmation adds Nintendo to the known platforms, though previous entries have largely skipped Nintendo’s home consoles aside from cloud versions and the handheld-exclusive Dream Drop Distance.

Switch 2 Builds Its Library
Nintendo’s Switch 2 is gradually accumulating third-party support. With Kingdom Hearts IV joining the lineup, it signals that major RPGs from outside developers are targeting the platform. The Switch already has a strong RPG catalog, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons being a standout seller, but the addition of a current-gen Kingdom Hearts entry could draw players who previously associated the series mainly with PlayStation and Xbox.
GamerHeadlines Takeaway
While the announcement is light on details, the message is unmistakable: Kingdom Hearts IV is coming to Switch 2. Whether it will be a native port, a cloud version, or something else remains unknown, but Nintendo fans can finally look forward to Sora’s next adventure on a Nintendo home system.
