At D23, attendees saw a trailer featuring Sora visiting Coco and the Land of the Dead. After around 7 years in development, the video confirmed slow but steady progress. That gives hope that the action RPG will emerge on time, although some followers still fear a postponement. Even a short Kingdom Hearts 4 release date delay could have dire implications for a PS5 disc version. Sony intends to accommodate physical game advocates until January 2028. Titles shipping before then can expect restocks of retail cases holding tangible media. Meanwhile, new arrivals become exclusively digital.
