After voicing Sora in 12 RPGs, Kingdom Hearts actor says maybe “the best thing to do” is let the long-running series end: “Even if you have something that you love”

Haley Joel Osment, who you might have seen on screen in The Sixth Sense and Spielberg’s Artificial Intelligence, is better know in these parts as the voice behind Kingdom Hearts’ endlessly optimistic protag Sora. But after playing the beloved character in 12 different games, Osment reckons that sometimes what’s best is to hang up the gloves. 

Speaking to IGN, Osment wasn’t actually aware that Kingdom Hearts 4 had been officially unveiled. “I hope that we hear something about it sometime soon,” he said, “I guess it’s rumored that there’s going to be another one. I’m always the last to know, because I’m the last step in the process. So hopefully, sometime soon, I’ll be back in the studio finding out what happened to everybody.”
