Kingdom Hearts III featured in October issue of PlayStation Official Magazine UK

The PlayStation Official Magazine UK has published a feature on Kingdom Hearts III on its October issue, commenting on the latest news on its development.
 
The spread focused on the inclusion of a Toy Story world in the game and aspects of the gameplay so far, as revealed in the D23 trailer released last month. It also summarizes some facts about the game, such as that it will be the last title of the "Dark Seeker Saga," and that Big Hero 6 was the last Disney movie chosen to be a part the game, and hence all other movies released after 2014 will not be in it.
 
You can view scans of the feature thanks to KH13 Social Media Team Leader Andrew Hankinson.
