Kingdom Hearts 3 is going to be released at some point this year, but it comes down to a matter of when. Earlier this week, it was announced that the game was going to be released soon for the Xbox One and Playstation 4. Almost as soon as the news came out, the announcement was retracted by Square Enix. The Kingdom Hearts 3 game has quite a following already and is expected to be just as popular as the other two models that were released.
Because Kingdom Hearts 3 used characters from Disney movies, the developers should have plenty to choose from after this last 12 months. Even if there is no other character chosen to be in the game, many of the players are hoping that Kingdom Hearts 3 will include a tribute to Robin Williams with the Genie from Aladdin. The loyal fans that are following the video game series are hoping to some of the more popular characters to the game.
Before this week, there was very little information regarding the release date. If fact, it was almost one year ago that a release date was talked about, but there was nothing by unconfirmed reports up to this point. According to one of the actors that voices many of the characters in the game, it is supposed to be released later this year. Bill Farmer voices popular characters like Goofy and took to Twitter to reveal that information.
Kingdom Hearts 3 has brought plenty of emotion out of fans of the game series and in one video it shows that fans are crying over the announced release of the game. That is how invested the fans are in the video game franchise. On the other hand, the studio that is putting the game together could leave the Genie out altogether since Williams has died this past year. The confirmation can come at any moment and it would not surprise anyone if that is the case.
Voice actors have been giving away hints about the game for the last 12 months or more. Some of the tweets have been deleted, or cannot be found easily by fans, but they remember what was said about the game. For the most part, the consensus was that the game was going to be released this year, but it would not be for many months. Voice actors have been recording lines “for the last few years”, which just shows you how long the development of a game can take from start to finish.
