Let's take a look at some of the new heartless seen in the E3 2015 Kingdom Hearts III trailer! The first batch of new heartless seen in the trailer are heartless that pop out of a river. They seem to have a shield of water around them when they first appear, and as you attack them, the shield goes away. It is also interesting to note that Sora uses what looks like Fire magic to attack these heartless, so there may be a bit of elemental strategy involved with these heartless in particular. Additionally, much like the elemental heartless from KH1, it does not appear that these heartless are specific to any world. They could very well spawn near any body of water, and not just this river in the Olympus world. The next wave of new heartless is a bit different in that it does seem like a heartless specific to the Olympus world. You'll notice that these heartless are wearing what look like Spartan helmets. Seeing as Hercules is set in Greece, this makes total sense. It looks as though these heartless may be specific to the Olympus world. Other than this, they have wings to help them fly, and they attack much like the Air Soldiers in KH1. The next new heartless in the trailer resemble Minotaurs, which are prominent in Greek mythology. They have humanoid features on their upper halves, but their feet have hooves, and when they gather together for a group attack, they lower their heads to reveal their helmets which don bull faces/horns. The new Tangled world also introduces a new brand of heartless. They represent dandelion plants. These heartless actually have two forms: A dandelion puff, and a more basic flower-like form. There was a segment in the trailer that showed the puff form releasing the puffs from itself to sprout new heartless. It is unclear whether or not this heartless is specific to the Tangled world, but it very well may be. One heartless in particular has has taken our notice. In Twilight Town, a Heartless has a bow & arrow, a quiver on its back and a red squiggly hat that resembles Merida's thick ginger hair from the 2012 Disney film, Brave. We have some screenshots of this you can check out below thanks to TheGamersJoint, and to KH13 member SoraFanatic for the tip. Could a Brave world be next revealed for Kingdom Hearts III?

Square Enix Europe has reuploaded the Kingdom Hearts III logo to their European press site, only days before E3 2015. Along with the Kingdom Hearts III logo, Square Enix also uploaded the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, Just Cause 3, and Life is Strange logos on June 12, 2015.
