I think Nomura will give us the updated version of the 15th anniversary artwork. I'm thinking it will be in full colour and the background will no longer be blurry with full detail of whatever was hiding there. Also to clearly reveal the fox on Sora's lap and maybe give us a broader spectrum if anything else is around him.

Come off it it's all but confirmed.

Rest in peace London. We can't complain because they came to London last year and it's only right to give other cities a chance. But if you asked me whether I would have preferred the orchestra to be in London this year or last year I would have opted for this year with KH3's release. I think it's a tad unfair that LA gets it twice but it's understandable if that's where they're going to show the next KH3 trailer to coincide with E3

We may get a tad bit of news at the Union Cross event but we won't get a new world until E3. As for the 16th anniversary I think we'll get the updated version of the 15th anniversary in colour, the one with Sora on his throne with crown. We may be looking at a similiar ending like FFXV for KH3 expect Sora doesn't sacrifice himself but he's the King of Kingdom Hearts.

This is amazing news! The best written news to come out for KH3 ever! Thanks Aquaberry For your hard work and dedication on reporting all this; this is so awesome!! This gets me excited! ... One of the development team members tried to talk about a certain development aspect, but the audio was censored. To that, Nomura said, “You can’t say that right now.” “The motion is still in progress, we’re working on the one that make a -censored-. I can’t say the name! [laughs]" “There is one world that is distinct from the others.”

Riku now has the Keyblade of Twilight since it has a Mickey head on the keychain. The third key to Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D.

I think it's taking place after the movie because the balloons are up on the scare-floor which only happens at the end of the movie when they discover laughter

Hello everyone! Nomura said at D23 Japan that the development of KH3 is split into three sections. Early stage worlds are 90% complete and the middle stage worlds are 60 - 70% complete. He didn't give a percentage of the final stage but said it was something incredible and that it is bound to surprise everyone. The developers made reference to this last stage by saying three things: "Something he's always wanted to do and put into Kingdom Hearts, ever since the days of working on Final Fantasy" "Everything can be done" and "Culmination of the past" I interpret this as: "Everything can be done" = No Disney property is off limits. "Culmination of the past" = The most successful Disney films over time. Culmination = The highest or climatic point of something, especially as attained after a long time. Nomura said for any live-action films they would be adjusting the 'Kingdom Shader' effect and we have yet to see one. I think this incredible, surprising third stage he is referring to will be entirely dedicated to Star Wars and we will be going through episodes 1 - 6 which will take up the final third stage of the game. It's surprising, it's incredible and Star Wars is an extremely popular and contemporary franchise right now. The timing is too perfect to not include it into KH3. Again I would just like to reiterate on what they said: "Everything can be done" = No Disney property is off limits. "Culmination of the past" = Every Star Wars film up until this point. As for the developers saying it's, "Something he's always wanted to do and put into Kingdom Hearts, ever since the days of working on Final Fantasy" perhaps he has always wanted a Sci-fi setting in the Final Fantasy games and never got the opportunity? But now Star Wars is the perfect franchise for a Sci-fi setting in Kingdom Hearts. However that's just my speculation on this topic, what do you guys think the final third section of the game could consist of? Thanks for reading.

I think there is going to be a mix of exclusive and things that are made public there. I think we're getting a Q3 release window at the end of the trailer or Fall. I think we're going to get more footage of the Tangled world and finally see Rapunzel and big hero 6 footage after two and a half years haha! And then a new world reveal of either Monsters Inc or Frozen. I'm leaning more towards Frozen now since the KH Twitter tweeted out 3 blue hearts. I think you'll get your wish of Treasure Planet but Roy Conli announces that at E3 since he announced Tangled at E3 2015, it makes the most sense for that continuity with casual fans.

The official KH Twitter account hasn't even mentioned it. I think we'll obviously get info from people at the event but I wouldn't expect much visually. I would say a new trailer and that's it. And they may not release the trailer straight away.

They say on the official site "We plan to give you an amazing experience exclusive to this event" so i'm 100% confident it won't be as they'll be showing a few things behind closed doors. But they will probably release the KH3 trailer. It's next Saturday on the 10th at 2am EST not in two weeks

We're moving on up, moving on up, time to break free, nothing can stop me! Hi everyone I'm your host Mr. Snow and I'm excited! Why am I excited? Because I think I've finally cracked the code as to where and how you acquire the two-shoot blaster Keyblade that we still don't have an official name for, so I'm just going to name it 'Bob' in the meantime. So grab a snack and settle in because here we goooo! So this is my idea of how KH3 starts: The game starts with "Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade war?" and it begins with how they promised which was a Young Xehanort and Eraqus playing a game of chess, talking about the future prophecy and how they're never going to get girlfriends; the opening cinematic then plays with Utada Hikaru's new theme song playing in the background, amazing visuals, crying ---> KH3 title card. It then - transitions to Sora in his KH2 outfit at Twilight Town as seen in the E3 2013 announcement trailer and you will be taking on the Devil's Wave like they showed. But they won't be nearly as tough as 0.2 to show how much stronger Sora has got. This will be your Twilight Town tutorial your taking them on, the games showing you flow-motion to jump on top of them and how magic works. Once that's over with you may have a chat with Hayner, Pence and Olette to show you the basic controls of interaction. But then Sora goes, "Oh no I'm late!" He runs to the Station Heights, gets on the ghost train, jumps off at the Mysterious Tower. He runs up, the end cut-scene from 0.2 plays - as Nomura said we may include that scene again as it actually crossed over into KH3 itself. Then Sora's like "All right, Olympus Coliseum here we come!" They zoom through that warp hole in their gummi ship and that is your tutorial. Swift and smooth. But immediately after this - Ding* "You have acquired the 'Bob' Keyblade." So you acquire it right after completing the tutorial and to show it's the official Keyblade of Mysterious Tower. The reason I believe you acquire it from that world is because in the E3 2015 trailer you see Sora at Mount Olympus in his KH2 outfit wielding that Keyblade. So this must mean you acquire it extremely early on, even before you arrive there based on Sora's attire. Also I compared the KH3 'Bob' Keyblade to the KH Union Cross 'Counterpoint' Keyblade which is based on the Fantasia world from Dream Drop Distance. I've noticed the yellow star feature and the colour scheme of pink/blue/yellow is extremely similar! I have attached the two screenshots of these so let me know what you guys think. Is this how it's going to play out? Thanks for reading!

KH3 Theory created 07/17 Marluxia Theory created 08/17

Sounds like a load of generalised fluff with no hardcore facts. Not even Sony Playstation cares enough about KH to write a decent article. This reminds of a story back in yee olden times in 2017 when Nomura said something like "We are currently taking a new approach with these worlds that will not have Sora and co. visiting worlds more than once." Now as 2 quid is good mentioned: we have a confirmed second playable character. So if we put both of those facts together y'know what that tells me? Nothing. We may in fact be visiting these worlds twice as the second playable character. I believe it will be Riku since we made him stronger in DDD to be a Keyblade Master and it would be a shame to not put this new found power to the test. Also we have to get Aqua out of the Dark World so I think we will play as him. Not only in the Dark World but also in some of the Disney worlds to pass a bit of time on for him before the great showdown. So to summarise - hey where did everybody go...

Great poll question! I would wan to to be the creative director so the KH universe could be mine to command, to controlllll!

GOOD EVENING!!! Or whenever you are reading this. Please no talking until the lecture has finished so sit down and shurrup, I'm kidding. So I would like to raise a bit of discussion regarding whether Treasure Planet is the right and best choice for KH3? I know many people are assuming it's going to be in due to the two other Roy Conli produced movies and it probably will be but is it really the right choice? My reason for questioning this is because we know that there is going to be less worlds than KH2 so in my opinion I think the maximum we are going to get is 7-8 Disney worlds. This does not include mini-game worlds like Atlantica in KH2, y'know the lesser Disney worlds. I'm talking the gigantic ones like Olympus and that Amazing Toy Story reveal, what a time to be alive. My reason is because it's taken us 4 and a half years to get just 4 Disney world reveals so revealing another 3-4 In it's final year seems about right. Personally I think we're going to get 7 max, with them being revealed at D23, E3 and TGS. I don't think we will get more than one revealed at once based on what Yasue said during E3 2016: Yasue: Like I said about not showing much of Kingdom Hearts III at this time, there’s always a right time for everything. We want each announcement to be special. So in my opinion if they want each world reveal to be special the idea of revealing two worlds at once would be cancelling each other out and would split the fanbase on which they we're more excited for. It would make it feel less special from my perspective. Now moving on to the world's list let's assume that the Monsters Inc screenshots are real and y'know, for arguments sake let's just say that Frozen is in too because it's popular, then that puts the Disney worlds at a total of 6. Which means there will only be room for 1-2 more Disney worlds left. People may believe there will be more than that and I don't mean to sound rude, but I think you are over-estimating the power of the Osaka team if you are expecting anything above 7-8 distinct Disney worlds to be quite honest. Considering the scale of them and then your getting original worlds, Radiant Garden, Land of Departure, Castle Oblivion, Twilight Town, maybe Daybreak Town from Chi, The Keyblade Graveyard and then potentially going into Kingdom Hearts itself, I think we're getting a lot there at 13 worlds. So I'll be glad if we can get 7 Disney worlds on top of all that with the scale of them. So with all that said, I could be wrong, there is potentially only 2 spots left for grabs after Frozen and Monsters Inc. My question to you is: "Can you honestly say that you want Treasure Planet taking up a slot when the spaces are now so limited based on what we know?" In my opinion, I know this isn't going to make me popular haha but if there is only two spaces left then I don't want it. Sorry but I would much rather have Wreck-it-Ralph, Emperor's New Groove and The Incredibles as those films we're so much better in my opinion but I agree that a space pirate theme would be cool! But this is a discussion so I want to know what you guys think of all this. Sound off in the comments let's have a good time! Thanks for reading.

Tabata, the director of Final Fantasy XV, announced in September 2015 that FFXV would be releasing in 2016, which was then originally announced to release in September, exactly 1 year after they confirmed the release year. So it may be possible that this is now how Square Enix is operating where they announce KH3's release year in July to then release exactly one year later. It's just a little theory of mine based on the announcement year and release of FFXV but they may be taking this same marketing approach with KH3.

I thought the song worked well with the footage because we literally do want 'Something Just Like This!'. This was one of my favourite songs from last year and I think it just gives off good vibes and excitement for the game. Also there is a little joke if you stay until the end. I'm so excited for this year and KH3's release! We are finally getting our day in the sun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_KPAh8ETMs&feature=youtu.be

Merry Christmas pal!

I think it's just somebody guessing and making obvious choices based on what we know. The list seems really obvious with no real surprise. I don't think it's leaked at all. ALSO there is no 'Dark Realm' world where Aqua is trapped or Castle Oblivion which has to be in KH3. Made up.

Thanks! I've credited you in the description. The only change I couldn't make was Donald saying 'okay' due to the audio behind it. It would have gone completely silent if I removed it.

Hmmm.. so it's probably just an estimation on when the site believes it's coming out.

Is it natural for KH3 to have a placeholder date of Friday, 30th March 2018? That's what simplygames.com has listed. The E3 2015 calendar theory...
