What’s the story in Kingdom Hearts IV?

I think what I appreciate most about the new KH4 trailer is that it straight-up outlines the overall plot of the game. There’s a hooded figure in an Organization 13 cloak explaining that they were transported to a new world and brought the darkness—an animating force that can be wielded by both heroes and villains—with them.

It looks like Square Enix has tweaked that feature for KH4, with the trailer showing Sora summoning a stream of chains he then surfed on to strike enemies. Sora also gets a new shield mechanic and the ability to shoot golden chains out of his keyblade. Donald
