Kingdom Hearts 4 names appear on D23 app, fueling hopes of August 15 reveal

Co-director Tai Yasue and voice actors Haley Joel Osment and David Gallagher are listed on the official D23 app for a Kingdom Hearts IV deep-dive panel scheduled at Disney’s D23 event on August 15, 2026, suggesting the game could receive a new reveal at that presentation.

Square Enix has not officially announced any plans for the panel, but the D23 app entry and a promotional post stating "KINGDOM HEARTS IV: An Extended Look. Coming to Disney+ Saturday, August 15 at 4:30PM PT | 7:30PM ET.Share your first reaction if this was real👇 pic.twitter.com/9Y4eC5SCTU" have prompted attention among fans ahead of the event.

The D23 app lists Tai Yasue alongside Haley Joel Osment and David Gallagher. Osment has lent his voice to both Sora and Vanitas, and Gallagher is well known as Riku.

Yasue’s inclusion on the panel has drawn particular notice because he is directly involved in the development of Kingdom Hearts 4, according to the D23 app listing.

Square Enix has not specified what will be presented during the deep dive. Many fans expect a new trailer and additional gameplay footage, while others anticipate information about Quadratum — the modern city setting that had been revealed in the game’s reveal and was one of the biggest talking points among fans wanting to know how it will tie into the rest of the Kingdom Hearts universe.

Square Enix has confirmed Kingdom Hearts 4 will be a multiplatform title launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, but the publisher has not announced a release date; rumors suggesting a 2027 launch window remain unconfirmed.

The Kingdom Hearts IV panel is set for August 15, 2026 at D23, and the D23 app’s listing of Yasue, Osment and Gallagher is the latest official clue ahead of any confirmation from Square Enix about what will be shown.
