If the December 2016 release date really is true though, we don’t expect to hear anything specific about the game over the next few months. The studio will most likely fire up the hype machine around the summer season and they will start sharing details about the upcoming title.
Square Enix are veterans in the industry and they have a lot of experience maintaining a high degree of engagement with their community. Because of this, we believe that they know best how to reveal any details about the game, and when.
Until then, fans should always maintain a healthy degree of skepticism when they are reading information about “Kingdom Hearts 3”, especially when it comes to rumors.
The speculation will probably ramp up significantly as the release date approaches, and some more imaginative fans love to spread misinformation during those times, making it important for everyone else to keep their guard up and avoid getting fooled. It’s a pretty standard case with games this big, and we would be surprised if there aren’t at least a few more prominent rumors preceding the official release. We would also be surprised if at least some of those rumors didn’t turn out to be true in the end, as it’s hard for studios to keep projects of this scale under wraps completely.
