Square Enix have sent out a press release regarding Kingdom Hearts III, the recently announced Kingdom Hearts title for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This press release links to the 1080p upload of the announcement trailer, provides a clean copy of the game logo (seen below), and reveals some aspects of Kingdom Hearts III's story. This can be seen below. Enjoy!

SQUARE ENIX, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in the Americas, today announced Kingdom Hearts III, the next chapter in the celebrated Kingdom Hearts franchise that marked its ten-year anniversary in March 2012.

Kingdom Hearts III features a mature Sora as the main protagonist who sets forth on an adventure with Mickey, Donald and Goofy through new and legendary Disney worlds. Kingdom Hearts III will make full use of next generation console technologies to showcase a stunning universe packed full of worlds based on Disney properties.

Story of Kingdom Hearts III
Believing light and darkness must remain in balance, Master Xehanort seeks to spark war against the ‘tyranny of light’ to restore equilibrium.

In an effort to undermine Xehanort’s plot, Sora, Donald and Goofy search for seven guardians of light and the “Key to Return Hearts,” while King Mickey and Riku search for previous Keyblade wielders.

Kingdom Hearts III will be available for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. Kingdom Hearts III is not yet rated. Please visit the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website at www.esrb.org for more information about ratings.

yea true. but idk i still dont see why Sora is searching for Seven Guardians and Masters Riku and Mickey look for "other" Keyblade Wielders, maybe there are more out there than we thought or maybe its people from the past (like Roxas and Xion), but i thought they were the same thing :mellow:

no its the past keyblade wielders. Riku and mickey are gonna go save Aqua i guess and then she should help save Ventus

for that matter i guess the people we thought would be the seven guardians might not be if Sora is still looking or more but i think that hes probably going to go protect the princesses

I think they mean Princess of Hearts as guardians, since they are also part of Xehanorts plan. Just saying... we never know until it comes out.

Yea but arent the PoH the Seven lights and the Guardians are well, the Guardians

Yea i knew about Aqua, Ven, and Terra but i just didnt list them but yea it looks like its just them that they are going to save, and i do think they will have to find them in that order being Aqua>Ven>Terra

yea thats the order i think it will go in too. they need aqua to find ven and i honestly dont think they will be able to save terra until someone he knows is calling out to him. i doubt if mickey called out to him he would respond at all

I think we need to know more about Terra's current condition. The fact that Master Xehanort revived as baldy kind of confused me, as you'd think he would reappear as Terranort. So, the question then becomes, where is Terra? I assume he's one of the thirteen, but it's hard to say.I'm also of the mind that Kairi needs to do more in this game. Frankly, I want to see her interact with characters besides Sora. Why not have her bounce off of Disney characters? I'd love to see her interact with Lea, and her friendship with Riku has never been touched upon as much it should have, IMO. We only see tiny traces of it on her end, with Riku's dedication to her in KH1 being the most developed aspect of their bond.

Kairi is a keyblade master as of Kingdom Hearts 3D, you will almost certainly experience the growth of Kairi as a character :)

Yea if Master Xehanort revived as himself then Terra must have as well cuz the only reason Terranort existed was cuz Terra and Xehanort where sharing a body so if Xehanort has his body back Terra probably does too

this is just me retelling what someone told me and i may not say it one hundred percent correctly. The heart shapes the vessel so since Xehanort is in control of Terra's body he is able to change the appearance so thats why he looks the way he does. This can actually also be seen when Ansem SoD takes over Riku's body and then changes the form. Even though Ansem SoD is a heartless, heartless have captured hearts inside them.

That's possible, but you'd think Master Xehanort would prefer a more youthful appearance, when the whole reason he sought a new vessel was because his real body was aging. :|a

I feel as if the "Key to Return Hearts" is a better alternative for Sora this time around. As we saw in KH, he used the Keyblade of People's Hearts to free Kairi's heart, but that also turned him into a Heartless. Maybe this new Keyblade will free/return the hearts in Sora without the side-effect of him turning into a Heartless.
