Square Enix has announced Kingdom Hearts IV during the 20^th Anniversary Event held today on April 10 JST. The release date and platforms have yet to be announced.

The Dark Seeker saga ended with Kingdom Hearts III, and now a new story arc called The Lost Master has been unveiled, along with the announcement of Kingdom Hearts IV. The protagonist is Sora as usual, who wakes up in a world called Quadratum, which strongly resembles the metropolis of Tokyo. While Sora tries to find a way back to his world, Goofy and Donald visit the underworld in search of clues to Sora. Gameplay footage can be seen in the trailer above, including a fight sequence between Sora and a Shadow.

A free-to-play mobile title called Kingdom Hearts Missing – Link was also announced today, with a closed beta test scheduled to start in 2022 (limited to specific regions).
