Kingdom Hearts III
Fans have been waiting a long time for Kingdom Hearts III, and now it’s just around the corner with a firm release date of January 29, 2018. The latest title in the successful franchise had a big showing at E3, revealing not one but two new worlds, Frozen and Pirates of the Caribbean, along with a handful of other little tidbits.
We were able to go hands-on with Kingdom Hearts III at E3, and our time left us excited and hopeful for the future of the series. Playing through a bit of the Toy Story and Hercules worlds, Kingdom Hearts III was immediately familiar, and we were able to fall right into the game’s rhythm, all while learning its new tricks. Keyblade transformations are the biggest addition, letting you seamlessly transform Sora’s keyblade into new weapons, like a rocket-powered hammer or yo-yos. This, along with general changes to attacks and magic, help keep Kingdom Hearts III’s combat fresh and fast-paced. The game also looks incredible, with the Toy Story world looking like something ripped straight out of a Pixar movie.
Kingdom Hearts III’s story is still very much under wraps, but what we’ve seen of the game so far gives us ample reason to be excited.
