Tetsuya Nomura Says Kingdom Hearts 3 Might Be A Long Wait

by Damian Seeto on September 20, 2015

 

If you are looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3, you may have to wait a while before it comes out. The game’s director hints that it won’t be out anytime soon.

 

Tetsuya Nomura was interviewed by Famitsu (via Siliconera) where he talked about the third game as well as the recently announced Kingdom Hearts 2.8.

 

Nomura admitted that it may take a long time until Kingdom Hearts 3 ever comes out. This is the reason why Square Enix is releasing Kingdom Hearts 2.8 in the meantime to tide fans over. The third game was first announced back at E3 2013 and it sounds like the wait will be more agonizing as time goes by.

 

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Nomura said that Dream Drop Distance will be a total remake and not just a remaster. This is because the game is going from two screens onto one screen.

 

There is also a short game included in the collection called Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentory Passage. It will follow Aqua and the game will share some of the same technology that is being used in Kingdom Hearts 3.

 

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue has yet to have a release date but it is expected to come out sooner than the third game. Hopefully November D23 event in Japan gives us more details.

Well I expect it Holiday 2017 in Japan which I guess is a long wait?



Delayed for the NX confirmed.

OT: In any case, I'm more than fine with them taking their time. DDD was my foray into the series and I really enjoyed it.
That being said, I sympathize with everyone begrudging the remakes and remasters



I was predicting 2018 before this. I don't know why anyone thought this games was coming out even remotely soon.



I can wait 2 years more, just give me an amazing game, Nomura

Crazy considering the first kingdom hearts came out in ps2's second year.

Not to mention its been a long 9, almost 10 years since the last mainline game came out.



These guys have serious issues with their development times. They can't be making much profit on either this or FF15?



Well I'm expecting it 2018 so I'm not surprised.



Well after finally getting the last guardian, ff XV and Nioh we need another game for fans to asks weres this game after every E3.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont
