In addition to its release date, what has been giving gamers great excitement over the crossover role-playing game “Kingdom Hearts 3” are the possible Disney worlds that shall be part of the game.
Previous reports have it that “Tangled,” “Hercules,” and “Big Hero 6” shall be integrated to the next iteration of the popular “Kingdom Hearts” franchise.
While there have been rumors that other possible Disney worlds might also be considered including “Frozen” and Marvel, it seems that those were merely wishful thinking from fans.
However, based on latest reports, it looks like the game would have another Disney-themed world coming along. Square Enix recently released a screenshot from the game, which shows Sora, Goofy and Donald Duck in a new world.
The threesome is on board a ride that resembles Buzz Lightyear’s Astroblasters in Disneyland, which could be a hint that “Toy Story” is being considered for integration to “Kingdom Hearts 3.”
However, sources from the game developer said that the screenshot is a matter of group attraction flow strategy without going into further details.
After the recent Albuquerque ComicCon 2016 held recently in New Mexico, reports are now rife that the Disney world of Winnie the Pooh might also be integrated into “Kingdom Hearts 3.”
Voice actor spills the beans
Apparently, it was Jim Cummings, the voice actor for the characters Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Pete, who hinted that the three characters shall be coming to “Kingdom Hearts 3” when he said during the event that he had just finished his lines for the game, reports Gamezone.
Cummings made the statement during the Q&A panel at the Albuquerque ComicCon where he responded to fan queries with regards to the development of “Kingdom Hearts 3.”
He was quoted as saying while answering one fan question that it was difficult for him as a voice actor because the characters’ lip movements could never match English voice acting since the game is made in Japan. But he did say that the process was especially fun for Tigger and Pete, whom he is also lending his voice to.
He said that they also had to paraphrase the original Japanese script and that created challenges for him and the other staff to record the dialogues, notes Latinos Health.
And to put an icing to the cake on his major revelation, Cummings also said that “Kingdom Hearts 3” is done or, at least, his voice acting parts but he still has no idea when the game is coming out.
Video games shall be full of fun
Meanwhile, Square Enix game director Tetsuya Nomura revealed some major progress on the two most-awaited games on its roster – “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” and “Kingdom Hearts 3.”
He said that the two games have indeed been in development for quite some time already and that the company PR will release information about the two games to the public soon. Nomura assured gamers and fans that the contents of the two games will really be fun.
Latest rumors indicate that “Kingdom Hearts 3” could likely come out next year, about four years from the time it was officially announced by Square Enix at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2013.
Incidentally, Square Enix has heightened the gamer excitement and enthusiasm over “Kingdom Hearts 3” during the annual Jump Festa in Japan held last month.
Jump Festa is Japan’s annual anime and manga exposition and it was held at the Makuhari Messe on December 19 and 20.
Japanese game developer Square Enix took it as another opportunity to showcase its latest gaming wares and the company decided to give fans a glimpse of “Kingdom Hearts 3” and “Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue” as part of its PlayStation 4 compilation.
