#Kingdom hearts 4 reveal trailer series#

The young girl in the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer is Strelitzia, a former Keyblade wielder who took part in the ancient First Keyblade War. When Sora awakens in Quadratum, he is greeted by a young, red-headed girl that will be familiar to fans of the Kingdom Hearts mobile games, particularly Union χ. Who is the girl in the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer? The ‘Shibuya’ (Quadratum) in Kingdom Hearts 4 is not the same one seen in The World Ends With You. While The World Ends With You has previously crossed over into Kingdom Hearts lore (in Dream Drop Distance), and Quadratum heavily features Building 104, which also makes an appearance in The World Ends With You, Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura has reportedly confirmed these two worlds are not the same. This city has often featured in video games – but importantly, it operates as the primary location of The World Ends With You, a Square Enix adventure that features a young protagonist entering a darkness-filled world. The trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 may have inadvertently created a bit of confusion by featuring a world based so heavily on the real-life city of Shibuya in Tokyo. Does Quadratum also feature in The World Ends With You?

Yozora’s world goes unnamed in Kingdom Hearts 3, but is christened ‘Quadratum’ in Melody of Memory after Riku reveals he’s been dreaming of the city. In Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind, Sora winds up battling Yozora in Quadratum – although it appears to be a friendly fight, and it’s unclear if it’s happening in a dream or not, as both characters later wake up and recall their odd fight.ĭepending on the outcome of this battle, Yozora may claim Sora ‘doesn’t need’ his powers yet, or he may trap Sora inside a crystal and vow to save him following his mysterious disappearance. They are joined by the Master of Masters, a mysterious villain who lurks from the shadows, and forms a heart over Quadratum’s moon with their hands – indicating plans to cultivate a new ‘Kingdom Hearts’ – a source of power – in this world. Yozora is a typical action hero, and is largely considered fictional for the length of Kingdom Hearts 3 – but in a secret ending for the game, both Sora and Riku end up wandering the streets of Quadratum, having crossed into this fictional world. Essentially, Verum Rex is a fictional video game in the world of Toy Story, one which is helmed by gritty protagonist Yozora – who greatly resembles the original version of Final Fantasy XV‘s Noctis, as he appeared in cancelled game Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Quadratum is actually the name of the main city in Verum Rex, the game-within-a-game introduced in the Toy Story world in Kingdom Hearts 3. What is Quadratum in Kingdom Hearts lore?

While the first look didn’t reveal too much about the new ‘Lost Master’ story arc, or what exactly happened to Sora following the events of Kingdom Hearts 3, it did provide some key hints about the future of the beloved franchise.įor one thing, the trailer introduces the realistic, death-filled world Sora now occupies as Quadratum, a name which first appeared in rhythm game spin-off Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.
