We have a release date!

Yeah, sure, after THEY PROMISED US the game would come out in 2018. Don't make promises you can't fulfill.

Huh? You mean the gameplay issues?

[Tails 6,690]

Honestly, I'm not even mad lol. I mean I am disappointed that SE decided to release the game early next year instead of the year they constantly reassured everyone that it will release in. But for me, I'm kinda glad for it because there's already a lot of games coming out this year and it will really have some competition especially with Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Smash bros Switch. So while yes, I am disappointed in the release date, I am not that upset about it lol.

[-Justin- 2,111]

Honestly, I don't even care what was said before. 2018 or not, we finally have a release date. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

[Trey Wickesser 72]

Huh? You mean the gameplay issues?

maybe but with that happening not even a month ago it could be something else, im more irritated by it not being a worldwide release with it almost a week off

[Jingilator 922]

It wasn’t a “promise”. The event where they supposedly “promised” this was nearly a year ago. And it’s like Trey said above me—Square might’ve been taking feedback at the premiere event.

LOL, take this with a grain of salt. They might delay it again.

[Keyblader number one 40]

Oh well. It's better than nothing.

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

I'm fine with it as well sure it dose suck that it did get the delay (I hope everyone who said that it was going to be delayed is happy now you sick sons of bi...) I'm just now dreading the fact that everyone who said it was going to be delayed is now going to rub it in peoples faces and the fact that some YouTube news outlets (Mostly The Know) talking about how well this is normal for Kingdom Hearts games to get delayed, even though it has only happened twice and they are not that big of delays.  That's another thing they are not big delays so people should just be happy that they have a solid release date that they have been begging for all these years.  I guess Nomura wasn't joking when he said that if people keep saying that it's going to be delayed he actually will delay it. Joking aside I'm glad they are going to take this time to work more on it so that we can get the best experience we can get with this game.

[Trey Wickesser 72]

LOL, take this with a grain of salt. They might delay it again.

 

LOL, take this with a grain of salt. They might delay it again.

why, from the announcement nomura seemed as disappointed as us, and with it being the start of the year making it so close to 2018, i assume it was a recent decision  and unless something screws up development i see no reason for a second delay

[-Justin- 2,111]

LOL, take this with a grain of salt. They might delay it again.

Nah, I'm super confident with this date. A slight delay's no big deal!

[littleTSUBAME 483]

Not too disappointed, would have been happy to play it this year, but January's not that far. ^^ I'm just happy we have a release date.

[Christmas Past 61]

I’m glad they’re taking their time to perfect the game, the premier event was probably to check what they could fix and it seems that they had a couple of things to tweak out, take your time square, We can wait !!

[SRKTVAMDGRLXN 232]

So, as the title says, what do you all think of KH3's release date now that it has officially been announced? Honestly, I'm not even mad lol. I mean I am disappointed that SE decided to release the game early next year instead of the year they constantly reassured everyone that it will release in. But for me, I'm kinda glad for it because there's already a lot of games coming out this year and it will really have some competition especially with Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Smash bros Switch. So while yes, I am disappointed in the release date, I am not that upset about it lol.

So? Who's to say that January also won't have games that might compete with KH3? Remember that E3 still hasn't started.

[Fan of KH 9]

I am super mad. Japan becomes if frist after FF15?That stupid! Nourmua do not need to say sorry if Japan becomes it first. 

[RuDoe Ry 139]

It hurts really hurts. Feels like there's just an emptiness in my stomach or something. Yeah yeah there's tons of games this year to keep us entertained I get it. But still... Smh now my expectations for this game are now in outer space and there's no coming back to Earth for me at this point. Back in 2017 when we first saw that Toy Story trailer and saw that 2018 window there's a light at the end of that tunnel finally fans cried (skyward wing) there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Then.... we hit 2018 six months and BAM smacked with a dealy and kicked right in the teeth falling too the half way point. As a fan I feel like I have a ball and a chain hooked to my ankle and now we have to slowly tread through another year of mud to get to our precious Kingdom Hearts 3. I was so happy so excited I bragged to my friends that it was finally coming this year and they told me now watch it get delayed too 2019 now I'm never going to hear the end of it or show my face.

 

* screams in pillow* NOMURA THIS HAD BETTER BE THE BEST VIDEO GAME TOO GRACE EARTH OR SO HELP ME!

[Gamerazor247 877]

I already had the mindset it could release in Winter 2019, but in all honestly...  I'm fine, i'm good, GUCCI, all alright.

Honestly, I would have been disappointed if Square hadn't been wrong about getting it out this year. Screwing up their PR is something I look forward to.

[2 quid is good 2,209]

I'm more mad about the "worldwide release" and the fact that the rest of us for the date through Twitter. this is just lacklustre bro. The marketing missteps are real.

 

That said, you know I'm still excited.

[Tails 6,690]

Yeah but usually not too many games release in January. So SE made a smart move

[DJ369 183]

In a nutshell: Salty yet sweet.

 

But yeah I'm okay with it for sure. I'm just happy we finally have a release date after all of these years! I'm a little salty it got delayed, but it's not too far off. I think they delayed it on behalf of the feedback from the Premiere event, so this could mean the combat and other aspects of the game will be polished and tweaked to perfection, so I'm alright with this. January 29th 2019 will be a day to remember!

Good things come to those who wait.
