So, I just noticed the first KH was published by SONY, and the rest were published by SquareEnix themselves. To my shock and concern however, I see that Disney Interactive Studios is publishing KH III. Should this be cause for concern?

Disney has published decent games in the past (Epic Mickey 1 & 2), but it's mostly been shovelware used to milk a movie or tv show license. Will we end up seeing a Sweet Life With Zack & Cody themed world, or will they let SquareEnix handle the story? Why switch publishers anyway? Was it a money issue, or a control issue?

 

What say you KH fans?

You're confusing development and publishing.  Disney handled development and publishing of the Epic Mickey games through Junction Point which they funded and hand-picked staff for. 

KH III is being developed in Japan by the same team that made Birth By Sleep and KH DDD.  Disney is simply handling distribution.  I doubt their involvement in the direction of the game is any more involved than it was in the previous titles.

I'm not confusing anything. Publishers aren't just backroom investors, especially when they own the licenses of the majority of the characters in the game.

Well there just the publisher so I wouldn't worry to much. If they were the developer also then I would be scared to death what Disney would do to Kingdom Hearts.

Make it an add-on to Infinity?
