Kingdom Hearts III Surprisingly Gets New Trailer Showing Battle Gameplay and Story Details

Square Enix launched a new trailer for their RPG Kingdom Hearts III, coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

[FallenAngel1984]

Holy shit didn't see that coming

[CyrusLemont]

Dropping bombs, next week is going to be huuuuuuuuge.

[naruga]

0: looks astonishing literally like a 3D animation movie ...(only some minor cons because of the U4 engine use and the superbright light effects)

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Shin-like I said in previous articles why?

You're talking about a game that cost multi millions of dollars so I have no clue why they would not show off even a trailer or something to keep it in the public eye.

I mean if someone on here could create a real compelling reason business-wise why would benefit them to not Market this game I would love to hear it.

[rainslacker]

Gotta love E3. We go several months with almost no news, then everything all at once as all these companies vie for attention.:)

[-Foxtrot]

I know right

I don't know why he would want to bring Roxas back, I thought he got a fitting end at the end of KH2. His arc seemed over.

I like how Sora has improved so much yet he messes up once after everything he's done despite not even being the original keyblade wielder and he doesn't get to be a keyblade master yet Rikku does 🙄

[cemelc]

Its not like you get something awesome aside from the tittle....

Doesnt matter if he is or isnt a master

[ninsigma]

Still has to pass the test to be a master and he failed. Doesn't matter what he did in the past.

[-Foxtrot]

It kind of does

You're telling me Yen Sid couldn't let it slide?

"Oh it's fine Sora, you failed...BUT you learnt from your mistakes and not to mention you saved us all, all worlds twice over despite being the keyblades sloppy seconds WHIILE SOMEBODY decided to loose his heart the darkness before the god damn thing was in his hands"

Lets be honest if you accomplished everything Sora had and you failed over one little thing you'd be p***** off. Rikku doesn't deserve it...I'm hoping he's killed off in this one.

[Name Last Name]

Riku's mastery of light and darkness is what puts him ahead of Sora.

[-Foxtrot]

Sora turned into a god damn heartless and turned back

That's more light and dark balancing then Rikku could ever do

[ninsigma]

Course I'd be ticked off but come on, Sora lost his way during the test while Riku mastered himself and faced his demons and won. Doesn't matter what Sora previously accomplished if he now loses his way to the darkness.

As for Sora turning back, it was kairi that turned him back. He didn't do it himself.

[modelgod]

WOW..A big foot sighting!! This may sound like blasphemy but I wasn't impressed! I was more impressed by the Japanese voices and the fact that the XBOX logo was actually first!

[trooper_]

...Seriously?

[_-EDMIX-_]

I did.

I'm still surprised at the people who are literally as oblivious as to literally believe that this company was not going to Market Kingdom Hearts 3.

I'm not saying you wouldn't particular either simply that we had a lot of people on here or saying for whatever dumb reason saying Square was not going to Market Kingdom Hearts 3...

[oasdada]

Couldve shown this at Sony Microsoft conference

[zombiewombie]

I did. It's E3 weekend. i would've been surprised if they didn't. The concert was awesome aswell. A lot of people fighting back tears, while i was fighting back farts. Don't eat the sandwiches at the venue, ever.

[Snookies12]

Hype levels have returned! Awesome to see we get a new trailer next month as well! Xemnas and Ansem looked sick in HD.

[Snookies12]

(Commenting on my own comment here) I just realized there's a 'link' option in the menu, and he has Hercules in his party... So, is he linking with Hercules to make the shield drive form?

[never4get]

They've improved character graphics! Greatness Awaits 2020!!!

[mt]

more like 2030!!!

[masterfox]

holy cheetos! is indeed an awesome surprise and it looks awesome too, so SE about that release date ? :D

[Nu]

Cheese Takis I recommend you try them.

[trooper_]

They have Cheese Takis?!

[Nu]

@Trooper They're called habanero cheese I believe.

[trooper_]

Ah! I gotta try those!

[PhoenixUp]

Now we gotta wait until July 15 for more info on this game.

I hope we get an English version of this trailer tomorrow.

[modelgod]

No..English version. I'm going to be soooo disappointed!

[TheColbertinator]

Finally a game that gets my hype levels rolling this E3.

Bring it Nomura,Kingdom Hearts III on my Xbox Scorpio in 4K.

[demonddel]

For real huh mines to hope the Scorpio is $399.98

[DragonDDark]

Scorpio will probably be $500 or at least $450

[modelgod]

I've spoken with several ppl close to the Scorpio Project and I'm sorry but it's not 399.99$. They're introducing a new price point; 429.99$. It's not bad, but it's not 399.99$.

[Lynx0207]

If scorpio doesn't run PS exclusives, I don't care even if it is for $199.99.

[modelgod]

You should get a Playstation. How dare you say " finally a game that gets my hype levels rolling this E3," and then mention xbox? Shh.....the Fanboys are very observant!!

[Sunny_D]

And you should realize how off topic your comment is. Reported.

[Bruh]

Eww don't you know on Sony 4G you can't speak of the Scorpio?

[ForeverTheGoat]

Same can't wait to play this on Scorpio.

[bangoskank]

I don't know why the KH don't get PC ports like every other multiplatform.game from SE.

[MegamanXXX]

Wow. Kingdom Hearts counted to 3 before Valve did. Considering they literally made several titles with the IP using decimals, I am mildly shocked.

Are we sure this isn’t Kingdom Hearts 2.985: Derth of A;wakening Madness X?

[Abriael]

They didn't quite count to 3 yet. While I have no doubt that they will, since Valve will never make half life 3.

[Summons75]

So they needed to do a little math long form and show the work :p They got there finally. I was in my Junior year of high school when KH2 came out...now I've graduated from high school and college twice, live on my own, and started a family. Crazyness! The game is looking great though!

[no_more_heroes]

I just came...

[Blu3_Berry]

Well then, I wasn't expecting that. More so that they just released a trailer as opposed to showing it in a conference. Looks incredible. Still need to play through 1.5+2.5 remix but I haven't had the time since so many games released this year.

[Bahamut]

Same

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

You've impressed me Square-Enix, I didn't think we'd see jack squat in regards to Kingdom Hearts.

[Yohshida]

meh

[DragonDDark]

Why come here & comment?

[Yohshida]

Because they take so long and all they come up with is a flat and lifeless world that just looks boring.

[Omnislashver36]

Lol ridiculous. This game looks light-years ahead of some others and better than any KH graphically and you call it 'flat and lifeless' wtf. Seriously if you don't like KH's style, why are you even here?

[DragonDDark]

Or you don't get the story at all & you don't see why what was said in it is a pretty big deal

[DragonDDark]

This came out of nowhere

[Omnislashver36]

Lol at all of the people thinking we weren't getting a new KH Trailer 😂

It's coming out next year. Bet on it.

[Legendary-Status]

this BOMB came outta they Sky.. like Sora in first few sec's of they trailer.this game will have my $ & hours lol

[Darkfist_Flames]

Release the damn game already, got tired of all this s***

[rezzah]

Release won't be until at least late 2018 if we are lucky.

[modelgod]

@DragonDDark 429.99$!

[DragonDDark]

No game console ever released at that price point. It's always a "-99" at the end. I said $450 cause it's wishful thinking. there were only 2 consoles released with a $X50 price point. Can't remember them but one of them was a SEGA console. Tells you how long in the past that happened.

[Imalwaysright]

30 seconds in and I was already throwing money at the screen!

[ninsigma]

Awesome! Fingers crossed for another showing at Sonys e3 with a release date!

[ninsigma]

Whoops, only just realised there was a bit at the end about next trailer in July.

[Omar91]

*starts uncontrollably crying

[shauzy]

I dont understand why square enix is always scared that their work isn't brilliant, it always is and yet they're scared
of the fans' opinions

[Platformgamer]

Better than nothing <3
D23 expo, cannot wait for you!!!!
Also, a 2018 release is more possible now

[rezzah]

Just a trailer of gameplay, the God of War 4 trailer at the last E3 was the only development of the game made at that time.

[TheGamez100]

Hmmm...now that they got kh3 out of the way for e3....maybe we'll see new ff7R footage at a press conference???? Hope that trailer next month has a release date for next year.

[DaGreatOne]

I really need to dive into those collections, story wise I have no clue what is going on

[DigitalRaptor]

Woof!

Looks nuts. Japan is coming back strong.

[Spurg]

....Ermmm...looks kinda dated to be perfectly honest.

[Omar91]

How so?

[Spurg]

Gameplay looks dated like the ps2 era. The gameplay doesn't hold a finger against games like Neir:Automata, Bayonetta and many more current gen games.

[Snookies12]

Except... You haven't actually TRIED the gameplay yet... Yes you can make a somewhat educated guess based on trailers. Honestly though, you won't know until you are actually playing the game yourself.

[Elda]

I was smiling watching this because it looks amazing!!

[link2Dpast]

One thing about Kindom hearts I could not stand, the freaking camera angles. So much was happening in this trailer but the angles are horrid, it's like they need to zoom out a little.

[FullmetalRoyale]

Shoutout to the Japanese voice actor crushing Hades.

[feraldrgn]

Graphically it looks great & the combat still looks nice, but the enemies looked like they weren't very aggressive.
I didn't see an enemy attack animation in the trailer at all, except for bosses.

[feraldrgn]

edit: @ the disagrees, can someone point me to the normal enemies running after you on the map & not avoiding you?

[InKnight7s]

The gameplay should be like this from the beginning or kh2 atleast. However, no release date and japanese voice mean year and half maybe :)

[trooper_]

Game looks amazing.

[Brohan]

I've been waiting for this game for almost a decade now... fuck all the other side stories.

[bangoskank]

I lost interest a while back but this trailer changed that.

[IliasApos]

Graphics are great and the battle seems so good!!

[Critic4l_Strik3]

When is it coming out!!!!?!??!?!?! This is gonna be epic!!!

[scark92]

This looks incredible

[ocelot07]

This website can be laughable at times. Now we have people complaining that there is more PlayStation fans on here than Xbox fans. What next? To many switch fans for there liking?

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Amazing.

2018 release date please?
