If you are like the rest of the gamers around the world that played the first two versions of Kingdom Hearts, then you are patiently waiting to hear when you will be able to pre-order the newest installment to the series. Kingdom Hearts 3 was expected to arrive this year, in fact, back in May, but obviously did not happen. Most gamers are wondering what would cause such a delay, but those that develop games like this for the masses would be able to teach you a few things about games these days.
Of course, the release date of May 2015 was probably concocted by a rumor that was floating around after the initial announcement that the game will be entering development stages this year. Rumors and other speculation are what drive the video game industry, as well as the smartphone industry and sometimes they are just too far from accurate. The bad side of things is that consumers are left wondering what is true and what is not.
In this case, Kingdom Hearts 3 arriving in May of this year was not true and now gamers are hearing that there might be news related to the actual release date coming up very soon. According to one online source, Amazon.com has already put a placeholder on the site for the game and that has many believing that it will be released sooner than later. If the game wants to sell well, it usually gets released right around the busy holiday shopping season, which starts next month in the United States.
There have been legitimate reasons for this long delay, but only one makes perfect sense when talking to people with a logical mindset. According to another source, the game is being delays because the Unreal 4 game engine has been getting optimized recently. If the game engine is not up to par, there is no reason to even consider releasing a new game that is based on it. Kingdom Hearts 3 is going to be getting plenty of attention, so it will be a benefit to developers that they get it right the first time.
Because there is so much emphasis on the Kingdom Hearts 3 release, there was a little bit of news this week that smells more like speculation than anything else. That news, which was reported by more than one source, claimed that next month there will be an official release date announcement for Kingdom Hearts 3. The event that is coming next month is the Disney event called “D23”. That is where you will reportedly be able to hear more about Kingdom Hearts 3 and possibly when it will be released.
