Five years after the release of “Kingdom Hearts III,” a new post on the official X franchise account (formerly Twitter) has given fans hope for a first look at the sequel.

Released in honor of the recent premiere of “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth”, the post shows Sora – the protagonist of the saga – in the middle of a crosswalk, watching several advertisements that show the character of Sephiroth, the villain of the game, which came out on February 29, who also from ‘is a secret enemy in the first two Kingdom Hearts.
This image caused excitement among fans because it was set in Kvadratum, a modern city based on the Shibuya district of Tokyo, where the much-anticipated fourth installment of the saga is expected to take place.
Unfortunately for those hopes, die-hard fans of the Square Enix franchise soon noticed that the image was an edited version of one of the scenes from the secret ending of “Kingdom Hearts III,” altered to show the villain.
The original image is part of the secret ending of “Kingdom Hearts 3” and shows the city of Kvadratum, based on the Shibuya district of Tokyo.

It’s hard to blame Kingdom Hearts fans for their enthusiasm, as it’s been a few years since the last game in the series was released, in this case the 2020 spin-off Melody of Memory. But despite this disappointment, this one year they will have at least one good news with the release of “Missing-Link”, a mobile game that will explore the history of this universe before the appearance of Sora and his friends.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that the official account of “Kingdom Hearts” has made a reference to “Final Fantasy VII”, and in January 2022 it shared image of Sora impersonating Cloud Strife in honor of the 25th anniversary of the games.
