Where to Watch the Kingdom Hearts Steam Announcement Trailer
The Kingdom Hearts Steam trailer will premiere live on the official Kingdom Hearts YouTube channel on May 21 at 11 AM EST at the link below:
After the live premiere, the announcement trailer will be available for you to rewatch as many times as you like (or catch it later if the premiere timing doesn’t work for your schedule).
Per a post on X (formerly Twitter) from Kingdom Hearts Insider, we will also be able to download the newly released version of “Simple and Clean” that will play during the trailer. It releases as a single the following day, May 22. This song is synonymous with the series in the minds of many fans, so it makes perfect sense to get us hyped by releasing a new version alongside this Steam release trailer.
When is Kingdom Hearts Coming to Steam?
The Kingdom Hearts series will be available on Steam on June 13, 2024.
As of now, the games are not yet listed on Steam, but the description on the trailer video invites players to wishlist the game. It’s likely we’ll be able to do so shortly after the trailer’s live premiere.
