Co-president of Disney Interactive, John Pleasants, has joined the stage with Matsuda. He is said to have "provided tremendous support for the KH3 announcement", and remarks that "He's thrilled to have everyone here. Everyone knows what KH is, he says." "Sales of more than 19 million copies. An Important franchise for Disney not just in games but for books, games, toys and consumer products."

"A mature Sora who will go off on new adventures with Mickey, Donald and Goofy. New Disney worlds for the series." "Expresses gratitude to Square Enix for their success, passion, energy and creativity. Disney couldn't be more excited." "KH3 will keep the tradition of the series, delivering world class story and gameplay to fans around the world." "Hashimoto back on stage once more. He's extremely happy KH3 is finally announced."

    I doubt it. The game seems very early in development, like SE just hastily put the teaser together for E3. I don't think there's really any concrete details to unveil about it just yet.

    It's been in conception stage for over 3 years. I think SE has done enough concepting and is ready to show KH3 to the world.

     

    With KH3 and FFXV taking care of, All that remains is TWEWY2. And Nomura says he wants to do a TWEWY sequel. (well, he said it in a teasing way on a japanese radio)

    Now, the only questions left are when will it be released and will it carry the tradition of coming out later for the rest of the world.

    KH3 is being developed by Osaka staff, people who developed BBS and HD 1.5 Remix. Nomura's team is not developing it as of now.

    I'm happy the Osaka team are making it. BBS and 3D are my favorite games of the series. Hopefully they can smoothly make the transition to console games.

    Hmmm, I guess at this point the Osaka team can pretty much be called the Kingdom Hearts team. So I wonder if the the FFXV team will become the new Final Fantasy team, I honestly wouldn't mind this.
