Starving Kingdom Hearts 4 hopefuls lap up tiny breadcrumbs from actor James Woods: "I can't comment, but I wish I could!"

Kingdom Hearts 4 was confirmed to be in development back in 2022, but Square Enix has been woefully silent on the project in the years since, with the most recent meaningful update being a batch of screenshots from May of last year that ended a three-year drought. Director Tetsuya Nomura recently suggested it won’t be until next year that we receive another big update, so for now, fans are left desperately lapping up breadcrumbs from anyone involved. Today, those breadcrumbs come courtesy of actor James Woods, who’s played antagonist Hades since the first game in 2002, and of course, the beloved Disney animated movie Hercules from 1997.

Again, temper your expectations here, because there isn’t much to this new “update.” There’s no new trailer, screenshot, or even new information. Literally all we have to report is a tweet from Woods vaguely suggesting work is being done on Kingdom Hearts 4, which has already been heavily implied by the fact that it was announced four years ago.
