Who needs Kingdom Hearts 4 when we have a potential Fortnite collaboration, am I right? Square Enix and Disney's ongoing action-RPG franchise is making its way to Epic's sandbox, per a prominent leaker, while news on Sora's next full-scale adventure remains scant.
According to Adira, a Twitter account that's been responsible for a number of leaks of late, says that Keyblades are incoming. They state the collab is "in development" and will arrive in the coming months, with no further details.
This is the second time Kingdom Hearts and Fortnite have been mentioned in the same breath, with another leaker claiming the two were going to collaborate two years ago. That rumor turned out to be untrue, and it's always worth taking these claims with a pinch of salt, but this partnership is certainly believable.

For one thing, Fortnite's been absolutely gunning through major properties for the last while. The Simpsons, South Park, and Kill Bill are just three recent examples of the pieces of media that have been absorbed into the battle royale's tapestry. Secondly, Disney and Epic Games have been working more closely together of late.
We've already seen Marvel and Star Wars get ample space in Fortnite. It seems practically inevitable that Kingdom Hearts would eventually join them in some capacity. There have been intermittent rumors of Final Fantasy becoming part of the shooter, too, but those haven't borne fruit yet. Should this happen, I'd expect that to change sharpish.
In any case, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Sora, Riku, or Kairi beaming players across the island before 2026 is done. Maybe that's the Kingdom Hearts 4 we deserve.
