During a X/Twitter exchange yesterday, voice actor Zach Pokres let it slip that one of the projects he has worked on recently was none other than 'Kingdom Hearts IV' (which he disclosed he had permission to mention without further detail):

​

It is currently unknown what role Zach Pokres is playing in the game, as it can either be a major role or simply voicing NPCs. Regardless, with the recent new screenshots that were released, and the fact that English voice acting is already being done for the game, the chances of seeing much more of the game soon seems very high.

EDIT: It appears the actor in question has deleted the Tweet. Reasons are unknown, as no comments have been made by the actor, but there's a good chance Square-Enix/Disney retracted their permission to allow Zach to mention KH4. Either way, for proof of the Tweet, please check out the video below:

While the screenshots don't reveal much new information (other than what's already known about the game since the first trailer back in 2022), it does show an updated UI, and hints at the possibility of playing as King Mickey in some segments of the game. Besides the screenshots, a message was also provided to fans, letting them all know that they are indeed heard, and the developers are working hard on making the game. Check out the message below:

​

The lucky players who'll get to be chosen for this closed beta test will be notified sometime around April 19th!

EDIT:

It was announced earlier today that the Android closed beta test will be postponed a week to May 2nd to account for feedback from the previous closed beta, and that there will be a closed beta for iOS devices at the same time!

​

The 'Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link' closed beta for Android devices, which was originally scheduled for January 2024, has been postponed until this spring per the game's official X/Twitter account, attributing the delay to needing additional time to further refine the game:
