About This Timeline
Kingdom Hearts is a crossover action RPG series developed by Square Enix in collaboration with Disney, directed by Tetsuya Nomura. The series blends original characters with Disney and Pixar worlds, following the journey of Sora, a Keyblade wielder fighting against darkness.
This timeline includes mainline numbered entries, major side stories that advance the core narrative, remaster collections that brought the series to modern platforms, and the newly announced Kingdom Hearts IV revealed at D23 Japan in August 2024.
Games are positioned by their original Japanese release date. Narrative placement follows the in-universe chronological order where it diverges from release order (e.g., Birth by Sleep precedes the original game).
