It is believed that Kingdom Heart 3 is going to have an integrated universe. There are talks about characters from Star Wars and Marvel coming together in for the third installment along with the regular characters. Since the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo the fanfare and excitement surrounding Kingdom Hearts 3 was on the wane, but news about the third installment has picked up the craze among fans.
Rumor has it that Tetsuya Nomura, the game director at Square Enix, has stopped working on Final Fantasy XV so that he can focus on Kingdom Hearts 3. Tai Yasue had revealed that Square Enix is indeed working on Kingdom Hearts 3, and it will have tie-ups with another universe. They have broadened the universe to include characters from Frozen, Marvels and Star Wars.
Iron Man will be making a cameo in the game, so will Darth Vader from the Star Wars universe. When interviewed about the role played by the characters from the other universe, in Kingdom Hearts 3, Tai Yasue was tight-lipped.
The trailer of Kingdom Hearts 3 that was revealed in E3 2014 has been confirmed to be the opening sequence of the game. Starting from where it had ended in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts 3 will have Sora pitted against the evil Master Xehanort, who is planning to open the Kingdom Hearts with a fake x-blade.
Whatever little information the fans have about Kingdom Heart 3 are from the trailers. When asked, Square Enix has confirmed that the plot will have Sora, Donald, and Goofy set out on a journey to discover the Key to Return Hearts and the seven guardians of light. On the other hand, Riku will team up with Mickey to look for the Keyblade wielders. All the characters of Kingdom Heart 3 then fight it out with Master Xehanort with Sora and Xehanort facing off in the end!
Kingdom Hearts 3 is set to introduce some new attributes. Creator Nomura has confirmed that the third installment will have Riku and Soru in a different outfit because they have grown up over the course of the game. Fans can expect the same for Kairi and the other characters too. This will also be the first time that Square Enix will not use their in-house software. They have used Unreal Engine 4 for developing Kingdom Hearts 3.
Fans will be excited to know that Square Enix is changing the game play a little in Kingdom Hearts 3. The key blades that are important weapons can from now on be transformed into guns. Kingdom Hearts 3 will be available on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
