Meeting beloved Disney characters has always been a core element of the Kingdom Hearts series. From undersea adventures to spooky escapades with Jack Skellington, Sora and his companions have journeyed through numerous Disney worlds. But with Kingdom Hearts 4 on the horizon, fans are eager for new experiences. Here are ten Disney worlds that would be perfect additions to the next installment.
Brave
Merida from BraveMerida’s fiery spirit and archery skills would be a welcome addition to Kingdom Hearts 4.
Would the impulsive Merida and equally headstrong Sora get along? Perhaps not immediately. However, a Brave-inspired world, set in the picturesque Scottish Highlands, offers exciting possibilities. Merida’s defiance of tradition and her accidental transformation of her mother into a bear could introduce a compelling narrative, blending seamlessly with the themes of Kingdom Hearts.
Encanto
Mirabel from EncantoThe magical Casita and its enchanted residents could provide unique gameplay opportunities.
The vibrant world of Encanto is ripe with potential for Kingdom Hearts. The Madrigal family, each with their unique magical gifts, could inspire exciting combat mechanics and Keyblade designs. Exploring the ever-shifting Casita, their magical home, could offer unique gameplay opportunities. Many fans believe Encanto is a likely addition to Kingdom Hearts 4, and we share their enthusiasm.
The Emperor’s New Groove
Kronk from EmperorKuzco, Kronk, and Pacha could bring comedic relief and exciting combat scenarios.
While Kuzco and his companions have appeared in Kingdom Hearts mobile games, they’ve yet to grace a mainline console entry. The Emperor’s New Groove boasts a colorful cast of characters who would interact hilariously with Sora and his friends. Kuzco’s extravagant palace and the surrounding jungle provide ample inspiration for a visually stunning world.
Moana
Te Ka and MoanaMoana’s oceanic adventures and Maui’s shapeshifting abilities are perfect for Kingdom Hearts.
Moana’s brief appearance in Kingdom Hearts Unchained X only fueled the desire for a full-fledged Moana world. With its captivating Polynesian setting, the potential for water-based exploration is immense. Maui’s shapeshifting abilities offer intriguing combat possibilities, and the volcanic lava demon Te Kā presents an ideal Heartless boss battle.
The Incredibles
The IncrediblesThe Incredibles’ superpowers could introduce dynamic team-up attacks and exciting battles.
The Parr family, with their unique superpowers, would be a dynamic addition to Kingdom Hearts. A world populated by Supers could create exciting scenarios for Sora, Donald, and Goofy. The villains from the Incredibles films could inspire formidable Heartless, while the Incredibles themselves could join the party as powerful allies.
The Princess and the Frog
Tiana from Princess and the FrogTiana’s bayou world and the “frog transformation” dynamic offer unique storytelling potential.
Despite being a Disney Princess, Tiana has yet to appear in a mainline Kingdom Hearts game. The atmospheric bayou setting and the “frog transformation” dynamic offer unique storytelling and gameplay possibilities. With Tiana’s recent appearance in Disney Dreamlight Valley, a Kingdom Hearts 4 debut seems overdue.
Up
Carl and Russell in UpCarl’s grumpy demeanor and the iconic flying house would add a charming touch to the game.
The iconic flying house from Up would be a delightful addition to Kingdom Hearts. Carl Fredricksen’s grumpy personality would provide a humorous contrast to Sora’s optimistic nature. Exploring Paradise Falls, accompanied by Russell and Kevin the colorful bird, would create a heartwarming and memorable experience.
Turning Red
Meilin in Turning RedMei’s panda transformations and the themes of adolescence could resonate with Kingdom Hearts fans.
Mei Lee, with her unpredictable panda transformations, would be a fun and relatable character in Kingdom Hearts. The themes of adolescence and emotional control explored in Turning Red could resonate with the game’s audience. A giant panda Heartless battle would be a visually spectacular and challenging encounter.
Inside Out
Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong in Inside OutExploring the inner workings of emotions could create a unique and introspective gameplay experience.
The concept of exploring emotions in Inside Out aligns perfectly with the themes of Kingdom Hearts. Journeying through Riley’s mind, or even the minds of Sora, Donald, and Goofy, could offer a unique and introspective gameplay experience. The Islands of Personality and other elements from the film could translate into compelling gameplay mechanics.
The Princess Diaries
Mia in the Princess DiariesMia Thermopolis’s journey of self-discovery could parallel Sora’s own adventures.
While live-action worlds like Pirates of the Caribbean received mixed reactions, a Princess Diaries world could be a charming addition. Mia Thermopolis’s awkward yet endearing personality would contrast nicely with Sora’s confident demeanor. Her journey of self-discovery could parallel Sora’s own adventures, creating a relatable and engaging narrative.
These ten Disney worlds offer a diverse range of settings, characters, and storylines that would be fantastic additions to Kingdom Hearts 4. We eagerly await the next chapter in the Kingdom Hearts saga and hope to see these worlds come to life.
