Hey there everyone, how's it going? Well then, as we all clearly know, we are desperately hyped for Kingdom Hearts III, and the obvious question in our minds is when the game will release? While some people say that it'll be next year and others say it'll be in 2016, I think that Kingdom Hearts III will end up coming to us in 2017. Here I shall explain my reasons. (If I made a topic out of this before, then I apologize, but I don't remember making a topic about this, I just remember posting in other topics relating to the release date of the game.)
Now then, here I shall state my three reasons as to why I think the game will come out in 2017:
Reason Number One: Now then, as we all know, we've been waiting for Kingdom Hearts III ever since we finished Kingdom Hearts II back in 2006, so that's a total of 8 years, but remember that we were waiting for a third game, but the game in and of itself wasn't announced way back then like Final Fantasy Versus XIII was. (Now known as Final Fantasy XV.) The game was officially announced last year, so in truth, we've only been waiting a year for this game, because now is when we officially know of its existence. I mean sure, we all speculated that a III would eventually arrive, and heck, I thought Birth By Sleep was Kingdom Hearts III at one point, but that wasn't the case, as it was revealed to be a prequel to the series. And well, 8 years since 2006, we've gotten all these amazing games that connect with the main story, and we've got the ReMixes, which are basically our hype devices for Kingdom Hearts III!
Reason Number Two: I personally think that the game will take a four year development cycle. Think about it. The gap between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II is by four years. (2002-2006) For this reason, I believe that Kingdom Hearts III will come out in 2017, since it was announced last year. (Hence the development cycle would be from 2013-2017.) And when it comes to it, it makes sense, since Kingdom Hearts III is undoubtedly one of the many projects Nomura's involved in that will keep him busy until 2019. With that in mind, I think this is what will happen. We'll get a decent amount of news next year, a lot more news and advertisements in 2016, and 2017 will basically be the year when Square goes all out in blowing our hype meters to the limit.
Reason Number Three: If all of you stop and think, take into account that 2017 will be the 15th Anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series, and what better way to commemorate 15 years of this amazing franchise than releasing Kingdom Hearts III? This final reason, I believe, is my most concrete of the reasons listed here, and well, I strongly think that Kingdom Hearts III will come out in 2017. But Nomura said that we'd get one Kingdom Hearts game a year, so what will Square Enix release in the meantime, you ask? Well, that's simple. Next year we're most probably going to get a Remaster of some sort, be it of the whole game or just the cutscenes of Dream Drop Distance, and I'm guessing that Nomura would try to incorporate something concerning Kingdom Hearts X in 2016 that will allow more fans to experience it, or something like that.
So yeah, that's my theory of Kingdom Hearts III's release date. I'm one of the people who thinks that Square should take their time making this game. I want to play a masterpiece, not a rushed product, so please Square, make sure to release the game in 2017 and not a year later! So then, what do you all think? Does my theory make sense? I realize there may be some flaws in my theory, but hell, that's why I posted it here, so that we can all debate on the release date! So then, debate away!
