Finally, we have a release year at last people!

Null19802484d ago

Kingdom Hearts originally launched in 2002, 15 years ago. That's half my life. It's the 3rd true installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, not counting the offshoots.....

Half Life 3 confirmed!

FullmetalRoyale2484d ago

I'm twenty-eight, so I'm right there with you. Knowing that there is a Toy Story world just makes it even better.

Null19802484d ago

@FullmetalRoyale I'll give you an upvote bc I'm excited for the game too, but I fibbed a little bit just to make a Half Life 3 joke. I'm actually 37 at the end of this year. haha Never too old for Kingdom Hearts though! I look forward to introducing my infant daughter to the series some day!

Anarki2483d ago (Edited 2483d ago )

Kingdom hearts 2 was released in 2005..........Kh3 releasing 2018, 13 years difference.

Nomura has a hardon for 13.

bouzebbal2483d ago

I won't believe it until the day it releases.
This is Nomura we are talking about.

Dont get too carried away i'm betting this defo gets delayed till at least 2019. Im hoping i'm wrong as i like kingdom hearts but still i can't see a 2018 release for it. Maybe March 2019.

Snookies122483d ago

Nah, development of this game has been going smoothly ever since the transition to Unreal Engine 4. I could see that if they were still using FFXV's engine, but they're not. I actually kind of expected a 2018 release date, but it's just really nice to hear.

Servbot412483d ago

You have to take the date, 2018, and add Square Enix Time™ to it, so expect late 2019-early 2020.

XanderZane2483d ago

Yes, and the game is looking so good. They've added Toy Story area as well. Can't wait to play this.

I always suspected this game would come out next year

- MGSV: GZ was released on in 2014 and MGSV: TPP was released in 2015.
- FFXV: Episode Duscae was released in 2015 and FFXV was released in 2016.
- KH0.2 was released in 2017 so it's only logical to believe KH3 will release in 2018.

InKnight7s2484d ago

Logical? Maybe, to your point of view and storyline at very last moments, but its insane that 3rd installement arrive after 13 years and all spin offs just on handhelds and totally skipping last gen.

nucky642484d ago

I couldn't agree more.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's Strongest Canonical Magic User Is... Donald Duck?

Final Fantasy features many strong characters, but an unlikely character from Kingdom Hearts is able to cast ​the most powerful spell ever seen

he was already my favourite disney character and one of my favs from KH and then to see that amazing spell too. aah so good xD

FGHFGHFGH359d ago

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT370d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
