Square Enix has been keeping tight-lipped about how progress on Kingdom Hearts 4 has been going, but D23 finally brought some intriguing details and new footage into the spotlight. Coco looks to be a great addition to the franchise, and what's even better is that it confirms that Kingdom Hearts 4 is still embracing a more cartoonish art style in some instances.
