What New Worlds Are Confirmed for Kingdom Hearts IV?

Square Enix revealed that Coco’s world will appear in Kingdom Hearts IV. This marks another major Pixar addition to the series, following worlds like Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.
The Coco world is expected to feature:
- Characters from the Land of the Dead
- Music‑driven sequences

More Scenes in Quadratum
New footage highlights Sigurd, Strelitzia, and possibly Vali, expanding the mysteries surrounding Quadratum and its inhabitants.
Quadratum continues to serve as a central location in the Lost Master Arc, offering a more realistic aesthetic than traditional Kingdom Hearts worlds.
What Is Quadratum in Kingdom Hearts IV?
Quadratum is described by characters in the Kingdom Hearts universe as a realm of unreality, existing outside the normal boundaries of the worlds Sora has visited. It resembles a modern city similar to our own world, with realistic lighting, architecture, and physics.
Quadratum was first shown in:
- Kingdom Hearts III
- Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind
- Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory, where its name was first spoken
In Kingdom Hearts IV, Quadratum plays a major role in Sora’s journey, serving as both a narrative hub and a gameplay showcase for the new engine and combat systems.
Who Appears in the New Trailer?
The latest footage includes several important character moments:
- Sigurd and Strelitzia in Quadratum
- Mickey investigating Scala ad Caelum
- Donald and Goofy speaking with Hades in the Underworld
These scenes suggest that the story will balance the grounded realism of Quadratum with classic Disney worlds and returning Kingdom Hearts locations.
What Combat Changes Are Coming to Kingdom Hearts IV?
Square Enix confirmed a revamped combat system that allows players to:
- Combine physical attacks and magic more fluidly
- Create new ability chains through a new combat feature
- Use expanded movement options inspired by flowmotion and physics‑based traversal
The goal is to make combat faster, more reactive, and more cinematic than previous entries.
