During Gamescom 2018, Sunil Godhania, Square Enix Europe's community manager, went on IGN's Live Developer Playthrough to show off the Toy Box demo for Kingdom Hearts III.
Besides giving us a good look at Kingdom Hearts III's gameplay, Sunil also talked about some new details about the game.
Sunil started out by talking about the Toy Box world and the fact that this was the first title in the series on Xbox.
Every Kingdom Hearts game can be a jumping in point for everyone. I'd say to anyone that's potentially worried about that, please just play the game, get into it, and I think you'll find a lot you'll love about it.
After showing off the transformation for the Tangled Keyblade, Mirage Staff, Sunil commented on the number of Keyblade transformations in the game.
I've seen at least two (transformations) per Keyblade so far.
Sunil also commented on world-specific bosses and whether we'll find out about them before launch.
Things like that we're going to keep very very secret and wrapped up until the game launches.
When using a Gigas for the first time, Sunil commented on the number of tutorials and user accessibility.
Whenever you enter a new minigame in Kingdom Hearts, you'll always get a short tutorial just to let you know how to play, because the game features so many different ways of playing. This is basically a first-person shooter now, which is completely different to what we've been seeing.
One of the most exciting bits of information from this interview came when Sunil went into detail about the purpose of Hidden Mickeys within the game.
If you can see, there's actually a Hidden Mickey in the background on the wall. Those are another mini-game throughout Kingdom Hearts III, you have to try and find all of those in each world. There may be some prizes.
The demo then ended after the battle against the Gigas, with Sunil finishing up by talking about how excited he and Square Enix are about finally releasing Kingdom Hearts III.
