While there is still no solid news regarding Disney and Square Enix Studios’ upcoming creation, Kingdom Hearts 3, some new info has been recently released. The release date of the game has been vaguely suggested to be 2015. However, informal reports have been released regarding the in-game characters.
The main character in Kingdom Hearts 3 is Sora, the teenage boy living on Destiny Islands, shown in all the previously released titles. There are two other in-game characters, Riku and Kairi, playmates of Sora in the island since they were toddlers.
In the first Kingdom Hearts game, we saw the three characters daydreaming about their adventures of wandering off, which are marred by dark creatures separating them, known as the Heartless. A secondary main character to be showcased in this game will be Riku.
In the earlier games, he was a close friend of Sora and also played an antagonist during the time he was controlled by Maleficent. In Kingdom Hearts 3, gamers will be meeting with Terra, who appeared in ‘Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep’. He will serve as a protagonist along with the apprentice to Master Eraqus.
Gamers will also see Aqua, who fights along with Terra and Ventus, a Keyblade-wielding combatant with Master Eraqus as her mentor. Ventus, the youngest of the trainees under Master Eraqus is another fierce Keyblade-wielding warrior.
Many other characters are set to appear with the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. These are Donald, Roxas, Lea, Goofy, King Mickey and Master Xehanort.
Recent news indicates that a new ‘Frozen’ character will also be revealed in this upcoming game. The reports are unconfirmed, but news release indicates that Tai Yasue, co-director mentioned ‘Frozen’, as a new character from the world of ‘Mulan’, also known as the ‘Land of Dragons’.
The Kingdom Hearts fans from all over the world are quite excited regarding this release. Most consider it to be a whimsical collaboration between Square Enix and Disney. However, fans were sent into a wild frenzy after the E3 2013 announcement of the probable release.
Although, it’s been a year, and we know nothing more about the game so far, the updated character list provides a ray of hope for the fans. Tetsuya Nomura, the director, was originally planning the process of Final Fantasy 15.
As a result, we can expect Kingdom Hearts 3 to be a great game. A lot of the initial news regarding it directed that the game might release quite soon. However, later releases indicated that the game will not be developed on the Luminous Engine used for the Final Fantasy Games. Instead, the game will be developed on the traditional Unreal Engine 4 platform.
Stay tuned for all the latest tidbits regarding the upcoming games for all platforms!
