🎮 Multi-platformKingdom Hearts 4 News Could Come Sooner Than You Think
A special 25th-anniversary Kingdom Hearts panel at Disney's 2026 D23 event has fans of Square Enix's RPG series wondering if major Kingdom Hearts 4(https://www.gamespot.com/games/kingdom-hearts-iv/) news is right around the corner. Disney doesn't hold a D23 annually (the previous one was held in 2024), and in recent years the fan event has taken on newfound importance as a stage for the House of Mouse to make all kinds of major announcements about upcoming films, shows, and even, occasionally, video games. This year in particular may be worth paying attention to for Kingdom Hearts fans. In an announcement(https://d23.com/all-day-programming-lineup-announced-for-d23-the-ultimate-disney-fan-event-2026/) detailing the programming fans can expect from D23 this year, Disney revealed an hour-long panel titled "Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts," which will celebrate 25 years of the franchise on August 15. "Join us for a journey through light and darkness as we commemorate 25 years of Kingdom Hearts," the panel's description reads. "Discover how this saga united Disney, Pixar, and Square Enix, with insights from the creative minds, character voices, and more behind the magic." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZjagzpvHXU Who, exactly, those "creative minds" in attendance will be remains to be seen. While voice actors and Disney employees are a given, the bigger question is whether anyone from Square Enix will be in attendance. If so, there is no bigger creative force behind Kingdom Hearts than Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura, who in addition to designing the look of the series' iconic characters has also directed every main entry in the series. Until we know exactly who will be featured as part of the panel, it's hard to say for sure what to expect. The existence of the panel on its own isn't exactly direct confirmation that Kingdom Hearts 4 news, whether it be a new trailer, a release date, or some other announcement, will happen at D23, but it certainly wouldn't be surprising. It was just last month that a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kingdom-hearts-4-gets-a-surprise-look-at-nintendo-direct-2026/) served as one of the June Nintendo Direct's biggest announcements(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-direct-june-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/), breaking years of radio silence and confirming it would launch on Switch 2. Like previous looks at Kingdom Hearts 4, the trailer showed Sora battling against Heartless in a modern day, Japan-esque setting, even as it flashed glimpses of other characters like Donald, Goofy, various hooded figures, and even lesser-known characters from various mobile spin-offs like Kingdom Hearts Union X.
🎮 Multi-platformD23's Lineup Includes 'Deep Dive' Kingdom Hearts Panel To Commemorate 25 Years Of The Series
!Kingdom Hearts IV(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/155adcf5/kh404.jpg.webp) Kingdom Hearts will celebrate 25 years next year, as the first game in the RPG series, which began life as a crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy, launched in 2002. Disney will mark the occasion a bit early with a "Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts" panel during D23 this year. D23 is the official Disney fan club, and it celebrates with a convention called D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event every other year. This year is likely to feature our first official look at Avengers: Doomsday and other upcoming Disney movies, as well as confirmed retrospective panels on classics like Beauty and the Beast and more. While we're a bit bummed there's no word on appearances from in-development games like Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/marvel-1943-rise-of-hydra), the action game starring Captain America and Black Panther(https://www.gameinformer.com/2024/03/20/marvel-1943-rise-of-hydra-is-skydances-captain-americablack-panther-game-arriving-next), or Motive Studio's Iron Man(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/motive-studio-iron-man-game), the schedule Disney released today confirms we'll be seeing Kingdom Hearts during the event. "Join us for a journey through light and darkness as we commemorate 25 years of Kingdom Hearts," the schedule listing reads. "Discover how this saga united Disney, Pixar, and Square Enix, with insights from the creative minds, character voices, and more behind the magic." Admittedly, this reads as though the panel will focus on the entire series and its history, but there's always a chance something from Kingdom Hearts IV(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/kingdom-hearts-iv) will be shown. After all, the game recently surprised fans by appearing in a Nintendo Direct (of all places), confirming(https://gameinformer.com/href) a simultaneous console and PC release, including Switch 2(https://www.gameinformer.com/nintendo-direct/2026/06/09/kingdom-hearts-iv-gameplay-trailer-revealed-will-launch-simultaneously). Only time will tell, but we don't have to wait long, as D23 takes place next month, from August 14 to August 16. In the meantime, check out the very first Kingdom Hearts IV trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/04/10/kingdom-hearts-4-revealed-in-20th-anniversary-trailer), and then read about how the full game will be made in Unreal Engine 5(https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/04/11/kingdom-hearts-4-the-full-game-will-be-made-with-unreal-engine-5).

🎮 Multi-platformDiablo 4 Update Will Drown You In Mythics
Diablo 4(https://www.gamespot.com/games/diablo-iv/) Season 14 will receive its first update on July 14, and while it does bring some welcome changes to what has proven to be an unpopular season so far, those hoping it would fix everything will have to keep waiting. Season 14(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blizzard-knows-diablo-4-season-14s-mythic-changes-are-controversial-but-its-for-the-games-long-term-health/) launched June 30, and its main hook is what Blizzard coined "Mythic Uniques 3.0," an overhaul of the game's item chase that made it so every Unique in the game (of which there are well over 100) can become an even more powerful Mythic Unique. Patch 3.1.1(https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24287406/diablo-iv-patch-notes) makes a few core changes that should result in players being able to acquire far more Mythic Uniques than ever before. The main currency used to "upgrade" (in actuality, gamble) Uniques into Mythics using the Horadric Cube, Pandemonium Fragments, are becoming far more plentiful. Blizzard has made them a guaranteed drop from the repeatable Glints of Hope reputation reward, doubled the amount of fragments (from one to two) dropped by the Corrupted Reaper on higher Torment tiers, and reduced the number of Pandemonium Fragments (from five to four) needed to gamble Uniques into Mythics. More fragments and a lower crafting cost means players will be able to fish for Mythics using the cube far more often, but it does basically nothing else to address the core issues players have with the season: the ability to only equip one crafted Mythic and the almost impossibility of being able to find a good, usable Mythic as a random drop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuu7aOAw0is The season's core idea, of opening up Diablo 4's Mythic possibility space, sounded interesting on paper. In theory, it creates more build diversity by attempting to push players away from the old Mythic Unique system where most builds all used the same handful of best-in-slot Mythic Uniques. Unfortunately, Diablo 4's Mythic item changes haven't won over many fans(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/diablo-4s-massive-mythic-item-changes-arent-finding-many-fans/). With so many new Mythic options, players are struggling to find the items they want for their builds, with no real way to target and farm specific items. Instead, players have to essentially just get lucky turning random Uniques into Mythics via the Horadric Cube and hope to get one that is usable for their build. Once a player makes a good Mythic, that essentially ends the chase, as they are only able to equip one crafted Mythic at a time and the chances of finding a good non-crafted Mythic out in the wild are slim. Old Mythic build staples like Heir of Perdition, Harlequin Crest, and The Grandfather are even harder to find. When they do drop, they are far worse than they used to be, with partly random modifiers that can sometimes make them not even worth using. As one Diablo content creator, Rhykker(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEtj56ctcMI), recently put it--Blizzard is making players "work harder to get something crappier than we used to have," which isn't exactly a great feeling. There's still time for Blizzard to make bigger balance changes to Season 14, with many players hoping for a lift on the single-equipped-crafted Mythic restriction to allow for Mythics made via Resplendent Sparks to also be worn. As it stands now, this first update is barely even a Band-Aid plastered over the season's far more serious problems. You can read the full update 3.1.1 patch notes below.
