It's been quite some time since fans have last seen any news on Kingdom Hearts. During their 20th Anniversary event, the newest entry in the franchise was announced titled Kingdom Hearts IV.

Kingdom Hearts IV will presumably take place following the conclusion of Kingdom Hearts III, where we see a more mature-looking Sora in a realistic world. Hopefully, there's still room to add some fancy new Disney worlds for Sora and the gang to explore.

Brand Manager, Ichiro Hazama prepared a special message:

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary with the announcement of two new KINGDOM HEARTS titles. We’d like to thank the fans for all of their support over the years, and we can’t wait for them to experience all that’s to come for Sora and his friends.”

Nana Gadd, Director of Walt Disney Games added: “Sora is an original Disney video game hero like no other, beloved by our team, and fans across the world. We’ve been honored to work with Tetsuya Nomura and his team for two decades to introduce these original stories of discovery, courage, and friendship. This glimpse into Sora’s next adventure is just the beginning – we can’t wait to show more when the time is right.”

Kingdom Hearts IV is currently in development for the next generation. The release date is TBA.
