Tetsuya Nomura, the co-writer, artist, director, and co-creator of Kingdom Hearts, says he’s looking to close the chapter on his involvement in the beloved franchise with the next entry in the series. And he’s been thinking about how that chapter will end since the last mainline game in the series was still in development.
Nomura reflected on what Kingdom Hearts IV will mean for both he and the series he helped create in an interview with Japanese publication Young Jump. In the interview, he also speaks about the complicated nature of the game’s story, which has expanded greatly since the first game’s release in 2002.
