Kingdom Hearts 3: Release Date for Xbox One Possibly Not Until 2015

Kingdom Hearts 3 has been confirmed for XBox One, but a release date hasn’t been pinned down. A hint of when gamers can expect KH3 comes from Haley Joel Osment, a voice actor for the series.

Why does this say "Release Date for Xbox One" and not just "Release Date"? Like the X1 version is going to release sometime sooner/later than the PS4 one lol.

Omar913740d ago

Sony may have timed exclusive rights to the game that we may not know about yet. Not sure where I read this, but I'm more then certain that I read it somewhere on this site. I could be wrong though.

rdgneoz33739d ago

Not likely on the timed exclusive. MS does have that fun little fine print for releasing on their system that says the game has to release at the same time and have equal content to other systems. That's why some indies are avoiding MS as they don't have the resources to bring their games to multiple systems at once.

jackanderson19853739d ago

@rdgneoz how do you explain the extra content Sony have been getting in their games from Ubisoft (the AC games) and the extra content they'll be getting in Destiny.

they've a launch parity clause for sure but even that can be pushed about

FamilyGuy3739d ago

@Jack

In those cases the extra content was made available through downloading, not just sitting unlocked on the disc. That's how devs are getting around MSs fine print. Releasing on different days is not something you can get around and MS has lost out on many indie titles for the X1 because of that requirement.

@rdgneoz3

No, actually that clause is only part of the XBox One Indie developers agreement. It has nothing to do with major publishers, they can essentially do whatever they want.

The game appears very early right now anyway so a release this year seems pretty unlikely already. A 2015 release seems much more realistic at the rate square enix has been releasing games this past gen.

Irishguy953739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

2015 seems very unlikely to me...unless FFXV is coming out this year(If there is a god, god will ensure it or I will slay him)

DarkZane -> I expect a worldwide Simultaneous release for FFXV, it's development has always been different than SE's standard dev times. They started English VA ages ago too.

DEATHxTHExKIDx3739d ago

I'm honestly not expecting it till 2016. Unless FFXV comes out in 2014 and KH3 in 2015 but that's a stretch. I also doubt they would release in the same year.

_QQ_3739d ago

I don't even expect this game until 2016 earliest tbh.

DarkZane3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

Considering this will come out after FFXV and that it doesn't even have a release date yet, expecting KH3 before 2016 is unrealistic. FFXV will be released in 2015 or very late in 2014 if we're lucky (2014 would be realistic for japan, early 2015 for NA/EU).

Also, KH3 is very very early in development.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's Strongest Canonical Magic User Is... Donald Duck?

Final Fantasy features many strong characters, but an unlikely character from Kingdom Hearts is able to cast ​the most powerful spell ever seen

he was already my favourite disney character and one of my favs from KH and then to see that amazing spell too. aah so good xD

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT356d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
