Posted August 23, 201510 yr KH3 is available for pre-order on several sites? Best buy etc, How does this work if no official release date has been announced? May be a dumb question.
August 23, 201510 yr Only kinda dumb question. Since there is no official release date these sites use a placeholder date for their system. I believe Amazon currently says the game is set to ship on December 31st 2015. Later they will change it to December 31st 2016. This pattern will continue until a real date is released. You can actually go and pre-order the game right now, but I would just wait until it is official.

August 23, 201510 yr Ahhh okay, makes sense, almost freaked myself out thinking the game was set to release December 31st haha, thanks! When it comes to Kingdom Hearts news your safest bet it to only trust what you read on KH13 or KHInsider. Anything else on the internet (even from game news websites) is not to be trusted.
August 23, 201510 yr It's something that's only been done in recent years because video games have come more into pop culture and they try to get people to pre-order because of the hype, basically... It's something that I really wish would stop because I'm tired of people thinking placeholder dates are the real release dates.
August 23, 201510 yr This is nothing new, but yes, we've noticed. Please for the love of God do not say that these sites also mention the release date is the 31st December 2015.
August 23, 201510 yr It would be sort of funny if the game were to be released on new year's eve, even though it's a bank holiday so shops are closed.
August 23, 201510 yr It's been available since it was first announced. I hope they back up the order information. It would stink if there was a glitch or something and all the data got erased.
August 24, 201510 yr Ahhh okay, makes sense, almost freaked myself out thinking the game was set to release December 31st haha, thanks! A quick hint is to check the day of the week it is releasing. Video games ALWAYS release on Tuesday, unless it is a Nintendo exclusive. In that case, it will release on a Friday. This year, December 31st is a Thursday. Also, December 31st is almost ALWAYS guaranteed to be a placeholder date. I promise, if there was an official announcement for the release date, you would know about it
August 24, 201510 yr Like people have said the dates right now are placeholders until the actual release date is announced. If you pre-order on amazon/bestbuy before a release date is announced, they will have your pre-order in the system and will ship the game to you once it comes out. They also send you an email giving you an update if a release date is announced
