Kingdom Hearts fans reach boiling point following three-year silence on Silksong release, fueling a creative form of discussion on social media known as silkposting, driven by Genie memes and absurd content
In the world of video games, anticipation is building for the highly-anticipated sequel, Kingdom Hearts 4. Despite the long wait since its announcement, development on the game is still ongoing.
The community of Kingdom Hearts fans may be bracing themselves for another extended wait, given the lengthy development time for Kingdom Hearts 3. However, Square Enix has been keeping the fandom engaged with re-releases of previous games in the series.
Recently, Square Enix shared in-development screenshots for Kingdom Hearts 4, revealing some exciting new details. Mickey Mouse has been confirmed as a playable character, and a new Keyblade for Sora has been unveiled.
The online community for Kingdom Hearts 4 has been active, with the most prevalent posts being random Genie memes, photoshopped to appear official. The fans are also using the term "silkpost-shaped copium" to describe their posts, a reference to the silkpost meme that has become synonymous with the Kingdom Hearts community.
One interesting development is the rumour of a voice recording for Kingdom Hearts 4 being underway. One actor has claimed to have been involved in the RPG in the last year, but there are no publicly available details about which person contributed to the voice recordings last year.
Tetsuya Nomura, the series steward, has provided vague updates about Kingdom Hearts 4 to the fandom. The fans had to endure these vague updates and re-releases of previous games to get the latest news on Kingdom Hearts 4.
