In addition to Disney characters, there are also reports saying that other characters from the other popular Square Enix video game franchise, “Final Fantasy,” will also cross over to “Kingdom Hearts 3.”
Accordingly, Cloud Strife and Sephiroth from “Final Fantasy VII” shall be coming to the game. The reports were based on the recent tweets of Steve Burton, who lends voices to both characters.
Square Enix will be releasing this year the “Final Fantasy XV” so it is unlikely for the developer to release “Kingdom Hearts 3” in 2016.
The 2016 release date rumors about “Kingdom Hearts 3” started gaining ground when Amazon retail giant listed on its website that pre-order for the game would be made available before the game’s release which indicated December 30, 2016.
However, Amazon quickly clarified its listing by saying that the placeholder release date for “Kingdom Hearts 3” is December 31, 2016, and January 1, 2017 just happens to be the next shipping day after that placeholder date.
But critics and gamers are one in saying that “Kingdom Hearts 3” could likely come out next year. They just don’t have any idea on when exactly in 2017 will the game be released on the gaming consoles.
