‘Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: New Gameplay Footage, Wardrobe Customization Options; To Reveal More Details On ‘Kingdom Hearts III’ Upon Release
As the release of "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" goes nearer, new details about "Kingdom Hearts III" have been announced. "Kingdom Hearts 3" will feature a possible episodic release, multiplayer gameplay and an Easter egg found in "Final Fantasy XV".
A gameplay footage of "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" revealed Aqua's new gear and customization options from "Birth by Sleep" - A fragmentary passage. An entire menu option dedicated to customizing Aqua's wardrobe apparently is available. The video quickly shuffles through accessories like Minnie Mouse ears on her head, angelic wings on her back and arms, along with several different color options for her outfit.
Meanwhile, Square Enix decided to refrain from sharing big details about "Kingdom Hearts III" until the product is almost complete. However, the developer seems to use the release of "Kingdom Hearts 2.8" to announce further details of the "Kingdom Hearts III," according to game director Tetsuya Nomura in his interview with Dengeki Online in June.
"After I've gotten it across that the position of the content in KH2.8 is important, I think I will report new information on Kingdom Hearts III along with the release of KH2.8," Nomura said. On the same day also, during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016, a trailer for "Kingdom Hearts 2.8" was also released and teased that new "Kingdom Hearts III" details will be revealed this winter.
Yibada previously reported that game director Tetsuya Nomura hinted new Disney worlds for Sora and his friends to explore in "Kingdom Hearts 3", which gamers can run, jump, fly and explore with wider space and higher range of maneuverability. Sora will also have new weapons in the sequel such as the Guard Form and an unnamed hammer form as previously revealed by Square Enix.
The plot reads: " Sora and his friends gathering the seven guardians of light in order to defeat Master Xehanort and his new Organization XIII from spreading darkness across the universe, culminating into another Keyblade War."
