Square Enix veteran with franchise directions Kingdom Hearts e Final Fantasy VII Remake on his resume, Tetsuya Nomura recently said he is planning to retire from the games industry. Furthermore, he also intends to end the saga starring Sora, Goofy, Mickey and Donald.
In conversation with the YoungJump about his career and future plans, Nomura, who will turn 54 in October, was asked where he intended to take the franchise Kingdom Hearts. “I only have a few years left before I retire, I have to decide whether to retire first or finish the series first,” he said with a laugh.

“I’m doing Kingdom Hearts 4 now with the intention that it will be a story that I will complete”, the Square Enix veteran revealed to YoungJump. It is worth remembering that the fourth game in the franchise does not yet have a release date or platforms at the moment.
According to rumors, Kingdom Hearts 4 could be released next year
Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced by surprise at the franchise’s 20th anniversary celebration — which took place in April 2022. Despite the trailer showing Sora in a realistic universe called Quadratum, little is known about the sequel so far.
In April this year, DanielRPKa well-credible insider in the film industry, revealed on his Patreon that Square Enix has plans to release the fourth game in 2025 — although the specific date was not mentioned at the time. He states that the game began production in 2020.
The insider revealed that he also is there a series or movie Kingdom Hearts currently underway — but did not provide further details about production. Furthermore, there is no clear indication that both projects (game and series/film) are related in any way.

According to Square Enix, Kingdom Hearts 4 will mark the beginning of a “new epic story” called the “Lost Master Arc.” This seems to go against Nomura’s statements about his retirement — especially since he is also handling the trilogy of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Will retirement really come?
