Tetsuya Nomurathe director of the Kingdom Hearts series and the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, has stated that He plans to retire from the video game industry within a few years and which is consequently evaluating How to give a worthy conclusion to Kingdom Hearts.
Interviewed by the portal YoungJump, the almost fifty-four-year-old Nomura was asked what his future plans are for the Kingdom Hearts series. In response, he stated that will only work for another handful of years before retiring and that he must decide whether to retire before or after establishing a worthy conclusion to the Kingdom Hearts series, as his intention is to create a story that you can complete with your own hands.
Will Kingdom Hearts End Before Nomura Retires?
“I only have a few years left before I retire, so I have to decide whether to retire early or finish the series,” Nomura said, later adding, “Now I’m making Kingdom Hearts 4 with the intention of creating a story that I can finish.”
Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced in 2022 to mark the series’ 20th anniversary. Relatively few details about the game have been revealed so far, including that the game will be “the start of a new story arc,” titled the “Lost Master Arc.” In short, it should mark the start of a new video game series, which would contradict the statements above.
In any case, it is not excluded that Nomura’s words were pronounced with an ironic tone or that he means that “he has only a few years left” in relation to the very long development times of AAA games in today’s market, where a high-budget production can take a minimum of 4 – 5 years to reach completion.
