Square Enix director Tetsuya Nomura still doesn't have any specific Kingdom Hearts 4 news for us just yet, but he wants you to know that the teams are making "great progress" on both the Kingdom Hearts sequel and Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3.

Other than a sneak peek back in May, we haven't seen or heard anything since Kingdom Hearts 4 was shown back in 2022 for the series' 20th anniversary, which is likely why Nomura joked in a recent livestream about seeing "a lot of comments" from fans eager to know more about the game.

"I'm seeing a lot of comments asking about Kingdom Hearts 4," Nomura said, as translated by Aitaikimochi (thanks, TheGamer). "We are making great strides and going according to schedule. So please wait for more information on that!"

Admittedly, that doesn't give us much to go on, but it should be a relief to fans to know everything is "going according to schedule". And as for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3?

"[Motomu] Toriyama supposedly said we will have news around the time of the second anniversary of FF7EC," he added. "We are making great progress on the game! And I can't say anything else. I'm not gonna be like, 'Well, actually…' If I did, people would be really surprised if it's during this FF7EC livestream.

"But we are indeed making a lot of progress with the game. We already have decided when we will make the announcement as well, and we will stick to that time schedule. So don't worry, but please wait for it."

Square Enix finally released fresh screenshots of Kingdom Hearts 4 back in May, giving us our first look at the game in three years. Before then, the last time the game was shown was back in 2022 for the series' 20th anniversary, in which we were treated to Sora's return and the expansive metropolis of Quadratum.

The day before those new screenshots, Square Enix cancelled mobile game Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link.
