D23, Disney’s biggest fan convention, continues with a special panel all about Kingdom Hearts. IGN is on the ground bringing you the biggest news, reveals, and updates from the presentation as it kicks off today, August 15.
Titled ‘DEEP DIVE into KINGDOM HEARTS,’ this panel will stream live starting 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET / August 16 at 12:30 AM UK Time. You can watch it on IGN’s own YouTube channel, which we will embed in this article for your convenience once the show gets started.
Disney said the panel will give fans a “behind-the-scenes look at the making of the games,” with insights from the “creative minds, character voices, and more behind the magic.”
Guests on the panel include Nana Gadd, director of games at the Walt Disney Company’s Japan branch, Tai Yasue from Square Enix, Haley Joel Osment, the voice of Sora, David Gallagher, the voice of Riku, and Renée Johnson, who is behind several Disney character voices.
This event follows gameplay footage shown at D23’s Friday night showcase at the Honda Center the day prior, where fans got to see Sora battling the Heartless in Coco’s Land of the Dead. A Kingdom Hearts animated series was also announced, which will stream on Disney+ on an as-yet unreleased date.
Follow along starting at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET for all of the latest updates from what’s shaping up to be one of the most highly-anticipated looks at Kingdom Hearts 4 and what’s next for the series.
