During Gamescom 2018, Sunil Godhania, Square Enix Europe's community manager, went on IGN's Live Developer Playthrough to show off the Toy Box demo for Kingdom Hearts III.
 
Besides giving us a good look at Kingdom Hearts III's gameplay, Sunil also talked about some new details about the game.
 
Sunil started out by talking about the Toy Box world and the fact that this was the first title in the series on Xbox.
 
After showing off the transformation for the Tangled Keyblade, Mirage Staff, Sunil commented on the number of Keyblade transformations in the game.
 
Sunil also commented on world-specific bosses and whether we'll find out about them before launch.
 
When using a Gigas for the first time, Sunil commented on the number of tutorials and user accessibility.
 
One of the most exciting bits of information from this interview came when Sunil went into detail about the purpose of Hidden Mickeys within the game.
 
The demo then ended after the battle against the Gigas, with Sunil finishing up by talking about how excited he and Square Enix are about finally releasing Kingdom Hearts III.
