Important Details on Kingdom Hearts 3 That You Should Know

Here are some of the important details about Kingdom Hearts 3 that you should know.

It will not feature any Final Fantasy World

Tetsuya Nomura, director of the ”Kingdom Hearts” franchise recently stated during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 held in California last month that “Kingdom Hearts 3” shall feature more details about the Keyblade Transformations, the exploration of the game, and also a prelude to the game.

The Japanese game director said that Keyblade Transformations are an inspired Command Styles function from “Birth By Sleep,” notes Hall of Fame Magazine.

However, Tai Yasue, co-director of the game, explicitly stated that “Kingdom Hearts 3” shall not feature any world from the “Final Fantasy” franchise. He added that instead, Sora and his friends Donald and Goofy, will explore the popular realms from popular Disney movies and home videos.

Yasue also explained that they want a different gameplay for “Kingdom Hearts 3” and the reports are saying that each world will have their specific challenges and battles in the role-playing game.

Thus far, the specific Disney worlds that have been rumored to be featured in “Kingdom Hearts 3” include “Tangled,” “Hercules,” “Mysterious Tower,” and “Big Hero 6.” However, since game developer Square Enix has yet to make an official statement about this, the information should be taken with a fine grain of salt, points out Game & Guide.

In fact, there are also rumors saying that the worlds of “Zootopia,” “Toy Story,” “Star Wars,” and “Frozen” shall be featured in “Kingdom Hearts 3.”

A New adventure in a new world awaits

The game will allow players to explore different areas of the game, and they would have to get high up to figure out the map first before proceeding. This will be a necessary step for players to follow so that they will not get lost in the area.

As promised by Japanese game developer Square Enix, “Kingdom Hearts 3” shall have its own unique features and shall involve trials and bosses which players need to defeat before they can advance forward in the game.

According to a source privy to Square Enix, the game shall actually have characters from the “Final Fantasy” franchise but not the worlds from the game.

It was also Tai Yasue who said in another interview that the developer is now looking at making original realms to add to the Disney worlds that they shall be incorporating in “Kingdom Hearts 3.”

As far as the game story is concerned, Sora along with Donald Duck, Riku, King Mickey, and Goofy, shall be searching for the seven guardians of the light. They will also be looking to find the Key to Return Hearts.

Release date and other stuff

The game director also discussed about the PlayStation 4 collection called "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue," which is a prequel of the upcoming video game. The PlayStation 4 collection will contain three games, which are "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A Fragmentary Passage-," "Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance HD," and "Kingdom Hearts X: Back Cover." He also revealed that the games can be altered easily thanks to the game engine they are using, which was Unreal Engine 4.

Nomura also revealed that Square Enix will be releasing the upcoming video game on April 2017. He confirmed that it may get a slightly earlier launch in Japan than the rest of the world.
