Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memorymay be in its final stages of development already. Madison Davenport posted an update earlier this month to her Instagram account that revealed she was doing voice-over work while in quarantine. Naturally, she didn’t reveal what for, but it’s highly likely that it’s forMelody of Memory.
Madison Davenport voiced the “Nameless Star” that Sora talked to inKingdom Hearts 3when he found himself in The Final World. Nameless Star and Namine’s star were the only two in The Final World with voice over work done for them, implying that the character behind Davenport’s star would play a larger role in the future of the series.

Kairi and Riku run across a similar star in theKingdom Hearts Melody of Memorytrailer. Since Namine left The Final World and returned to a physical form at the end ofKingdom Hearts 3, the only star left of importance that Kairi and Riku could be talking to would have to be Davenport’s.
Of course, Madison Davenport could be recording for something else entirely, but aside from the mentioned information, there are other reasons that it’s likely forMelody of Memory. Through the game’s announcement trailer,Square Enix saidMelody of Memorywould release this year for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
However, the PS5 and Xbox Series X also release this year, so to avoid having attention taken away from the game, Square will want to releaseMelody of Memorybefore those consoles come out. ThePS5 and Xbox Series Xrelease during the holiday season, so around November and December. This gives Square Enix between next month and October to releaseMelody of Memory, which lines up the timing between Davenport recording andMelody of Memorybeing within its final stages of production.
The director behind theKingdom Heartsseries, Tetsuya Nomura, said in an interview with Dengeki PlayStation last year that the next time Nameless Star appeared, she would have her identity revealed. Again — considering the game’s announcement trailer —Melody of Memorylooks like this is where that next appearance will be.
As to who Davenport’s character is, Nomura said in the same Dengeki interview that she’s already appeared in the series and theKingdom Hearts 3 Re: Mindsecret boss fightimplies it’s the unnamed woman from the Verom Rex commercial Sora witnessed during Toy Box. As it stands, fans will just have to wait and see whenMelody of Memoryreleases in the coming months.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memorywill launch in 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
