January has been a key month for a few years now, especially for Japanese developers. Nier, Yakuza, Monster Hunter World, RE7, Dragon Ball Fighther Z and Ni-oH just to name a few off thr top of my head, all released to major success during January.
KH is more popular than all those titles.

Actually this is my point. I usually expect smaller or experimental titles to come out in January. RE7 is the only one that I would call a guaranteed big seller. All of the others are smaller except for MHW and DBFZ. MHW and DBFZ were "experimental". They both sold a lot better than their predecessors because they were trying something new.
Perhaps Kingdom Hearts 3 is trying to change up the formula and try something new? That would be the best case scenario.

Well, I think the whole conception of when something needs to release has been changing these days. Movies have found that it doesn't need to release in the "summer" time period to sell billions. Games have also been releasing more and more out of their 'typical' window.
But I would say late Jan, early Feb is being optimistic for Kingdom Hearts 3. I'm expecting later. I was watching some predicitons for E3 and a group brought up Kingdom Hearts at E3 and its release. They then talked about how they got a hands on time with the game at some place and got to talk to devs and so on. The impression they got at that was that the game is not ready yet, so they didn't believe it would be a 2018 game. Thus in the same thinking, it being like month 1 of 2019 seems unlikely. Toss that onto it being SE game as well, and I woudl not expect this until like Spring 2019.
