Addressing rumors: New Kingdom Hearts III trailer at E3 2017 and apparent release deadline set for 2018

[AwesomeKHfan 1,250]

I don't buy the rumors but I do believe there is a change on a trailer on E3 because of the cancelled Winter news I actually believe kinda that the one who started this rumor used the hole Winter news to make this

Thanks for sharing this with us, Neil!

 

Well, this is something that is fairly normal this time of year! With E3 drawing ever closer, rumors like this pop up everywhere! I take this all with a grain of salt, and well, I'm honestly not too worried! 2018 seems like a reasonable year to release Kingdom Hearts III, and if there is any cut content, it'll most probably be small things and not significantly huge things, ya know? Just as long as the game doesn't feel rushed or incomplete, I'm good to go!

 

I'm pretty sure we'll get a new trailer for the game at this year's E3, you just watch!

Question did this guy leak FF15? Somebodt told me and I have to be sure

[PrinceNoctis 1,011]

no worries

 

 

 

basically. I disagree with people who claim cutting content = rushing a game. I might not have faith in the user who claims this is leaked info, but he is right when he said people are twisting his words. he never said they were rushing the game, he stated something quite obvious, but in reference to the deadline being set and SE's will to have no more delays for the game's release.....

 

....... PROVIDED he's telling the truth in the first place. lol

 

but his insurance is: 'I heard this two weeks ago, and SE's always changing their mind, so if this turns out not to be true, that's because they changed their mind.'

 

I wouldn't worry too much about it, personally. it will release when it will release.  

Concerning the deadline, they've actually had a release date set internally since 2015 and Nomura said he was supposed to reveal information about that on November 3rd of 2015, but he didn't...So it makes sense that they might've delayed already (which might be why we didn't hear about this release date news) and don't want to delay it anymore. Every company sets a deadline for their products at some point, you need to work towards a certain goal to be productive. Even if he's lying about the release date being in 2018, we still know that a deadline has been set internally.

They've known the planned release year a while but I never saw anywhere that he was supposed to reveal it on Nov 3rd o.o

These "rumours" may be true after all. Re-evaluate this picture...

 

 

28/03 (28th March). The leaks mention a deadline of March. We all assumed that the date was just the day the picture was posted.

He does that on anniversaries

I believe that's what it says here, maybe Nomura was just talking about revealing information on KH3 in general: http://kh13.com/news/a-release-date-for-kingdom-hearts-iii-has-been-decided-but-nomura-cant-announce-it-yet

This same guy leaked details about FFXV and he was right. I am inclined to believe this is true. I mean it makes sense the game has been in development since 2013 and with a 2018 release date that sets it at a 5 year development period which is plenty of time to finish the game

Well, given the development cycle, that's actually a pretty good point you set there! We'll just have to wait and see for when a trailer drops at E3 to see just how far along Kingdom Hearts III is shaping up, ya know? Hopefully, progress shows significantly!

[Lulcielid 159]

The game will be flawed in one way or another and people will do a leap in logic claiming that the game is flawed because it was rushed, I'm calling this.

Hey guys. Guess what happened today.

 

 

Next week, ubisoft will show a new assassin's creed trailer to their investors and they may start the promotion for this game

 

So this happened, right a week after he "leaked" that rumor.

There is a rumor that Assassins Creed will be revealed this friday, so if it turns out to be true then he is either a reliable source or just very good at predicting things (anybody could predict that AC will be announced before E3, it happens every year).

Didn't they just announce it today?

he ddidnt it say it would be revel on friday but would start promtiing ac for the trailer

 

La semana que viene Ubi enseñará el primer tráiler de AC Origins a sus inversores y puede que empiecen con la promoción.

He was also wrong about FFXV as the last part of the article says.

 

I personally don't care much for rumours, but I am inclined to believe in next year simply because it makes sense to me

Yeah it was just about more info. The release year has been agreed upon for a while, but then again who knows, they might have changed it, or not.

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

Some of these do seem possible. It would be nice to know if they are true, but we'll see. Otherwise, I hope he is right in saying KH3 shows up at E3. I don't know why it wouldn't since there is literally nothing else in the way for KH3 now that HD2.8 has been out for months and HD1.5+2.5 has been out since March.

I was pretty much waiting for this site to adopt the rumor before taking anything about it seriously. And sure enough, it paid off. It's not nearly as dire as everyone else was making it out to be when it was raw. Essentially what it boils down to is that KH3 might be getting some content removed, but no more than any other past KH game, and it might be announced for 2018 fairly soon. It's still a rumor and should still be considered as that, grain of salt and all that, but at least it's more positive than certain youtube theorists have been making it out to be.

 

It means absolutely nothing to me when Gamer'sJoint, HMK, Skyward Wing, or whatever other KH fandom "celebrities" says anything, it's only when stuff like this touches down here that I know it's worth looking into, especially since the staff here does a much better job at cross-referencing and fact-checking than any of those other guys do. They fanned the hysteria, KH13 brought it back down to a drop in the bucket (I think I'm getting my analogies mixed up today, lol).

 

Keep up the good work guys.

do you think those removed content will become DLC

[Hero of Light XIV 2,381]

It really depends on how they want to go about it.

Well, with Matsuda's recent comments, I still think this rumour falls in line. Square Enix want to release a blockbuster title every year, and Kingdom Hearts III seems to be the most palpable blockbuster titles out of the current lineup.

[Alicia Maddox 2,141]

While I'm not saying these rumors are true, there's a high chance that at least some of them might be true. Because of SE response, or lack there of, to this. Typically, if someone comes out with a "leak" or "rumor" regarding KH3, SE are pretty quick about shutting it all down. Look at what they did with the whole Bill Farmer situation last year when it first broke out and among other things like it. SE was always quick to clear up confusion and say "No, its really this or that" but with these leaks/rumors, SE has remained strangely silent. And it would make sense. If these do turn out to be partially true, SE can't come out and say these rumors are false, move along, or they would be lying to everyone. But if these rumors really are or at least partially false, then we would have heard from SE by now. So while I don't believe everything said from Jose is true, I believe that at least some of it might. And if so, we'll know which ones, if any are indeed accurate come next month.
