Sorry Kingdom Hearts 4 hopefuls, Summer Game Fest's Geoff Keighley says don't expect another look at the long-awaited RPG sequel: "People are setting themselves up for failure"

It looks like Kingdom Hearts 4 will not make an appearance during this year's Summer Game Fest after all if host Geoff Keighley's latest remarks are anything to go by.

Speaking during a recent Q&A live stream, SGF presenter Geoff Keighley seemingly reveals news that no Kingdom Hearts stan wants to hear - we probably won't see the upcoming RPG at this weekend's show. Following a slew of questions regarding Kingdom Hearts 4 and its possible presence during the event, Keighly notes that "people keep asking about Kingdom Hearts" but says that he doesn't "know why." He goes on to speculate that players may have expectations due to last year's announcement from Square Enix at SGF.

"I think it's because we did Final Fantasy [7] Rebirth last year," Keighley explains. The host then laughs awkwardly, saying that "people are setting themselves up for failure" by expecting a new look at Kingdom Hearts 4 following its big reveal during 2022's 20th-anniversary event.
