Despite creating the series, Tetsuya Nomura was reluctant to return to Kingdom Hearts, but he came to use the tensions at Square Enix as creative inspiration. We spoke to him about how the game is progressing.
"SQUARE ENIX®’s beloved KINGDOM HEARTS series has launched on Steam®, bringing the iconic RPG series to a whole new world of players. All three collections released today—KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind DLC—can be played both on PC and on-the-go on Steam Deck devices, and available at a special discounted price for a limited time*." - Square Enix.
My main complaint about the series is that it mixes Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters, but they are actually not important at all to the plot. I read summaries and watched videos about the series, even played the music game which tries to summarize the plot of each game, and the Disney and FF stuff are barely mentioned at all.
All the series really is, is an amalgamation of convoluted plots that tries too hard to be mysterious and edgy, with some cameos to attract fans of Disney and FF, who wouldn't care at all about the franchise otherwise.
Heck, even in the trailer above, the Disney/FF characters are... just there.

Yoshinori Kitase, Tetsuya Nomura, and Naoki Hamaguchi are extremely excited about a certain encounter in Corel Prison.
Return to the series? When did Tetsuya Nomura ever leave the franchise or ever express any intention of leaving?
This was a very informative interview though
So KH 3 won't be the last of the series. Nice news and interesting mini interview.
Great interview!
So much anticipation for this title, its crazy to think they skipped a whole generation for Kingdom Hearts 3 and that KH 2 was on the PS2!
Pretty sure there were three playable characters in KHII
(Roxas, Sora, and Riku)
