Though Square Enix cancelled the game in 2025<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a video is circulating around the internet that a leaker claims was meant to be part of an early cinematic in the game. If true, it could offer a hint as to what might be coming in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kingdom Hearts IV<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, though fans are still trying to sort out exactly what they\u2019re looking at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The alleged <em>Missing-Link <\/em>cinematic was first posted on 4chan, and has since been shared to other social media through embeds and a Google Drive link. It shows a squad of astronaut-like keyblade wielders facing a giant Heartless. What we did know about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missing-Link<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was that it would focus on the world of Scala ad Caelum, or the origin point of all the worlds in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kingdom Hearts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After the\u00a0<em>Pragmata<\/em>-cosplaying keyblade wielders defeat the Heartless, the dark void around the battle disappears, revealing what appears to be Quadratum, a world based on real-world Japan. Fans theorize that the squad we see here could have been soldiers from Scala ad Caelum, who were exploring Quadratum, which is going to be heavily featured in\u00a0<em>Kingdom Hearts IV<\/em>.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yo the kingdom hearts missing link intro is real the astronaut guys are real what the fuck was grandpa Nomura cooking with this game https:\/\/t.co\/7JVbdrnJ9N <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DcW1Af8fNb\">pic.twitter.com\/DcW1Af8fNb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 kij (@kijuler) July 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Some fans who took part in <em>Missing-Link<\/em>\u2018s beta say this doesn\u2019t quite match up with anything they saw in the test phase, however, so whether or not this is actually from an incomplete<em> Missing-Link<\/em> cinematic or is something else is unclear at this time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis looks absolutely nothing like <em>Missing-Link<\/em>, sorry,\u201d a redditor writes. \u201cThe <em>ML<\/em> style was more steam punk.

The leaker has also posted other screenshots they claim are from <em>Missing-Link<\/em>, including images of what appears to be Brain, a character who had a prominent role in some of the <em>Kingdom Hearts<\/em> mobile games that are now gone forever. While the legitimacy of the video is up for debate, places like the <em>Kingdom Hearts <\/em>subreddit have been deleting and banning these leaks without prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow wielders,<\/p>\n<p>To remain consistent with policy from Square Enix and with our community\u2019s Discord server, we have made the difficult decision to not allow <em>Missing-Link<\/em> leaks at this time.<\/p>\n<p>This includes screenshots, videos, music, art\/screenshots\/assets, narrative pieces, story, etc.<\/p>\n<p>We apologize for the inconvenience this causes, but please be patient with us as we navigate these waters.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your understanding and may your hearts be your guiding key.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Square Enix hasn\u2019t put out any official statement, so we reached out to the company for comment and will update this story if we hear back.<\/p>\n<p>                          <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kingdom Hearts is a series full of mysteries and dense lore that only the biggest of fans can fully understand or explain.
