Disney has confirmed that an exclusive Kingdom Hearts pin set is going to be sold at D23, which is yet another good sign that Kingdom Hearts 4 could make an appearance.
After nearly four whole years of almost complete silence, Kingdom Hearts has finally started to make a comeback over the past few months. Things kicked off very surprisingly with a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 at the most recent Nintendo Direct (as well as a native Switch 2 port), and it looks like Square isn’t slowing down any time soon.
Last week, it was confirmed that Kingdom Hearts is going to get a “Deep Dive” panel at next month’s D23, which instantly got everyone thinking that something to do with Kingdom Hearts 4 was coming, just like what happened with KH3 in 2016. I was holding back on getting excited, but a new bit of merch has me thinking those hopes might be right.
Kingdom Hearts Exclusive Pins Are Coming To D23, And Everyone Thinks It’s A Sign
It’s A Lot Of Effort For Anything Other Than A Big Reveal
Ever since it was confirmed that Kingdom Hearts would have a dedicated panel at D23, everyone has been looking for signs that it might have something to do with Kingdom Hearts 4. As pointed out by Twitter user KHMLTomorrow, one such sign is a new and exclusive set of pins that’s going to be sold at D23.
The pins are the first-ever Kingdom Hearts Adorbs, and they include characters like Sora, Riku, Kairi, and some Disney mainstays. The $35 set also has a chance of some rare Chaser and Super Chaser variants that we don’t know the designs for, but are more than likely different world variants of Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
While the pins are a cool addition to the growing line of Kingdom Hearts merch, they aren’t actually the interesting part here. What is interesting is that Disney is bothering to have an exclusive set of Kingdom Hearts merchandise at D23, which many are taking as a sign that something bigger than a retrospective panel is happening at the event.
A new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 is obviously the big wish, but there are also the many rumours of Sora being added to Fortnite in its next season to consider. Both would make for pretty big announcements, but the presence of these pins combined with all the evidence we have so far is certainly making it seem like Disney is showing something new.
