Kingdom Hearts III game cover spotted in Japan; file size around 40 GB

[Leamax 746]

The game cover for the PS4 version of Kingdom Hearts III has been spotted in Japan! The back of the cover includes stills of Sora from the opening preview, a shot of Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Olaf from the Xbox E3 trailer, Sora from the PlayStation E3 Trailer, and Sora, Woody, and Buzz. The cover also reveals that the file size is set for about 40 GB, oppose to the 35.81 GB file size for the Xbox One version and the previously reported 50 GB for the PS4 Pro bundle.

You can check out the game cover in the gallery below (thanks to soranchu0309 who took the photos).

Compared to the cover that was shown at the Amazon livestream back in November, this version has fewer stills but resembles the covers for Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II.

The light that connects hearts
Becomes passion
And fulfills the oath-*

The story reaches its climax.
The “Dark Seeker Saga” that started from the first entry in the series is finally coming to an end, centering around Sora, who has grown throughout his many adventures.
New worlds from the Disney franchise appear in this game to create an even greater universe.
Along with the satisfying action, keep an eye out for what may be the best battle in the series, including elements such as such as Attractions and Links [and Limits] with Disney characters.

It looks good.   It's cute seeing Olaf with Donald and Goofy.

I guess 50 Gigs on the disk and 40 Gigs to download would roughly be at 90 Gigs total? 

Or it's just 40 Gigs plus many more to download via internet?

It's just 40 GB. the 50 GB for the Bundle is a rough estimation plus with the PS$ exclusive Keyblade, it would be right around that mark

AHHHHHHHH PHYSICAL COPIES IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!! ............ Sorry, had to get that out. Seriously though, it looks great! And a 40 GB file size is about what I expected. The game is gonna be massive.

40 GB Total for one game but what does that mean?

Doesn't mean much. Just means a lot of assets were used to make the game. Doesn't necessarily speak on content. Persona 5 is like a 90+ hour game and the file size is smaller than 40 I believe.

I hope the exclusive keyblade isn't an extra 10gb download lmao.

Similar to red dead redemtion 2 if we go by that than the game is certainly going to look stunning

Well if the keyblade has an extra 2000 possible transformations it coul be lol

Yeah that would be ludicrous!  Ten gbs just for a keyblade skin.  Isn't that what the Starlight keyblade is, a skin?

I kinda like the Japanese back cover more than the other one. It's less busy and reminds me of the one for KH2. I mean it's a back cover so it's not super exciting but at the same time it makes the game more real and is a reminder that the game is indeed coming out real soon.

I feel like retextures would be a lot smaller in data size than that. Masamune, the blade that came with the day one versions of FFXv, was a few MBs in size, I believe.  I think the size of the files would be some where in that range more like. All together, they'd probably have a slightly bigger file size than Masamune did.

I'm comparing it to retextures mods of for SWKotor, but even then, the textures for that game are much older and less complex.  So, it might a little bigger in size when compared to SWKotor since those were old 2002 graphics and these are much more realistic and newer 2018 graphics. Not to mention, they both use entirely different engines as well. Even 5GB for retextured Keyblades seems a bit ridiculous.

I love that they included pictures from KH2.

Hey, that don't look too bad.
