Is KH3 Secretly in Development?

[G-SANtos 105]

BbSV2 is postponed, but he says other titles for KH are in the works, and that there will be an announcement soon? Unless it's remakes or remasters, it can't be much except KH3.

 

There's the Keyblade War story, and we could also find out that there's a Terra's Nobody (the possibility his existence was mentioned on BBS Ultimania) and what he did during KH-KHII, as I'm sure that, if there's a Terra's Nobody, he is...

 

 

... in the new Organization, as Xehanort wants him to think he has no heart, and blah blah blah.

 

 

 

I also think that there may be a Ventus's Nobody, but I'll address that somewhere else.

 

He did say 3D was the last game before it, after all. Which is good because, honestly, they don't have much left they could fill in with the current plot.

 

Really? When? I only remember him saying that the end of KH3D leads directly into KHIII, not about KHIII being the next game. But there has been many interviews regarding KH3D that I haven't read, so I may have missed it.

 

And just recently Nomura said it was time for KH to get back on the consoles again. We all know that he wants KH for the PS3.

 

Like Re:COM? He also mentioned on GameInformer that hewants to do something abot the games being spread over multiple plataform. Maybe he's remaking EVERYTHING (except 3D) into a console.

 

And he's also mentioned to pay attention to 3D for a hint of what the next game to come is. Well... in the credits of 3D, Sora and Riku walk towards the light and their outlines make a III (sorry if someone didn't know that, but it's not really a spoiler, so...).

 

Though that's a good point.

 

 

Yeah, but what will happen after Kingdom Hearts III? I think it should be a prequel and start during the original Keyblade War, set 1,000 years before the original KH. You should: create your keyblade wielder, create your keyblade, create your keyblade glider and armor, and chose your alignment (light or dark). This could be so much fun and be KH IV: The Keyblade War. The series should not end, just start from a new point that relates to the main story.

 

The reason BBS didn't have a number in the title is because Sora was not the protagonist, so the Keybalde War can't be KH(number).

 

 

The series isnt ending after KH3, just the Xehanort saga. This is confirmed by Nomura. He also said he isnt going back in time any further than BBS so this wont be an option

 

Well, in Director's Secret Report XIII he even addressed what they would need to tell the Keyblade War's story, and also said that the way to tell it has yet to be figured, so I think this means he wants to make a game, or something else, about it.

 

 

I'd say HD collection.

 

I just hope they can negotiate with Tarzan's copyright holders to put Deep Jungle into it.

While I think there are other stories that could be told, I don't think he'd do so right now. Not when he's already said 3D will be the last game (story wise) before III. I believe this was in his tweet for the KH ten year anniversary. It wasn't in so many words, but yeah. I just have felt like in recent interviews he wants to start on KH3, too. Especially since he is worrying about the multi-platform thing. So unless there's another game (besides 3D and BbSV2) that's important to understand III, I think he'll save it until the next saga. I even wonder if BbSV2 was postponed because it gears more towards the next saga than III. I could see a "worlds that have fallen to Darkness" story arc after III.

 

While it would be AMAZING to remake and/or remaster the games, I don't think we should get our hopes too high. It's still not even really confirmed this is happening. Honestly, if we just got a revamped BbS and KH for PS3, I'd be sold. They may or may not include other games (they probably would include KH2 before BbS), but it may be too much for them to handle. At least right now. I don't even need Final Mix content (though it would be nice). Just a higher quality KH1 and BbS would really make my life. KH2, too. But that one's still not too bad graphics wise (BbS either, but I want it for a console). 3D and CoM would be nice, too. But those are bridge games so they'd probably worry about BbS, KH1, and KH2 first. Which is too bad because I want a Re: Days. Xion deserves to be seen in more cutscenes:/ And it is weird that (besides maybe 3D) Days is the only KH without a remake or Final Mix. And Days does hold importance. I love that game. I'd much rather have that than Re Re: Coded. Or just Coded in general. Ugh. That game...

 

At best, we might get the main titles and bridge games remade with unlockable cutscenes from Days and Re: Coded (as well as a summary of the games). Actually, people would probably just be fine with CoM's cutscenes, too. No one really pays attention to the Disney worlds in that game.

 

Anyway, I've ranted enough. Shutting up now.

This doesnt negate the fact that he said he plans on not making anymore games further back than BBS..He could tell a lil about the old keyblade war in flashback scenes in KH3 and accomplish the same thing.

 

Also since ven didnt lose his heart he cant have a nobody . His body that would be the nobody is still in CO...his heart taking refuge bc it was injured doesnt constitute him losing his heart .

[Emily Murphy 28]

Not KH3, but possibly another unnumbered title. Maybe something to suprise everyone and come out a couple months before KH3, like BbSv2. That would be amazing....

[Xail 113]

Nice idea

[Cloud the Keyblade Master 44]

The series isnt ending after KH3, just the Xehanort saga. This is confirmed by Nomura. He also said he isnt going back in time any further than BBS so this wont be an option

 

But a man can dream, can't he?

[Zanzetsuken 66]

I would actually be surprised by that. You know, right after VS is out, BAM! KH3 in your face.

[G-SANtos 105]

This doesnt negate the fact that he said he plans on not making anymore games further back than BBS..He could tell a lil about the old keyblade war in flashback scenes in KH3 and accomplish the same thing.

 

And this doesn't neate the fact that he could change his mind. He once said there were no plans on a BBSFM, and look at what we got. Depending on how he develops the next saga, another game in the past could be necessary.

 

Also since ven didnt lose his heart he cant have a nobody . His body that would be the nobody is still in CO...his heart taking refuge bc it was injured doesnt constitute him losing his heart .

 

This is not necessarily relevant to my theory, I was thinking on a special Nobody among the lines of Naminé, who had no body or soul. I'll explain my theory on a proper thread once I have time.

This is all irrelevant when you have stated no such theory and no such nobody has been shown to exist unlike Namine .Namines also been stated to be an exception due to Kairi being a PoH.

Whose heart is pure light, just like Ventus's, even if he got his in an unorthodox way. Discuss this with me once the thread is done.

As i said , no such nobody has been shown to exist unlike Namine ..Two Vanitas had remerged with Ventus when his heart was shattered which means last we saw his heart wasnt pure light anymore . ( although no one can say for sure Vanitas fate with Nomuras logic)

[Master riku 0]

I hope so. The sooner it comes out the better

[KingdomFan 6]

I strongly hope so!

[UltimateKeybladeMaster 12]

yes I do think its been in development along with Versus 13 for some time and here is why:

 

 

First off I want to say that all the info I am including is from Tetsuya Nomura the creator of the Kingdom Hearts series who knows way more about KH 3 than any of this and is mostly speculation on my part. I will say though that I believe Kingdom Hearts 3 is in development and will be announced officially sooner rather than later.

 

I found a interview with Nomura where he said KH3 had officially begun development as early as 2010 and 2 other kh titles had begun development (probably re coded and DDD).

 

http://gamersyndrome.com/2010/news/development-for-kingdom-hearts-3-has-already-begun/

 

Nomura has stated that KH 3 is next after DDD and that the game will have answers torward the next title and that the secret movie will also give us insight. Of course I haven't played the game yet but if anyone has please keep it to yourself NO SPOILERS.

 

In May 2012 Nomura said the next TITLE in the KH series was underway and was ready enough for a official announcment soon. Many said HD remakes probably but he said next TITLE/ENTRY of the series, a hd collection would not be counted as the next title. Others have said Birth by Sleep vol 2 but Nomura has denied this and also denied a DDD FM, in my opinion there is no need for a BBS sequel. So if KH 3 is the next game what else could this title be? Please no Re Days comments there no need for a remake of Days. THERE IS NO BBS VOL. 2

 

Many were upset that nothing was said at E3 but think about it DDD has yet to be released in America or Australlia, they would not announce the next game in the series before there current title has yet to be fully released. I think the announcment will come at the TGS in september cause this september will be the 10th anniversary of the series.

 

Many say KH 3 isnt coming because in the past it was said it wouldnt start till versus 13 was done. Well all I can say is plans change and Nomura is known for multitasking and saying one thing and doing the complete opposite and according to him the next KH title is in development so maybe thats why versus 13 is taking so long, they are working on both at the same time.

 

KH 3 will be on the ps3, sony has no plans as of Feb. 2012 to start production on the PS4 anytime soon. They have also said the PS3 will have a lifetime to atleast 2015-16 just wanted to add that.

 

http://www.psxextreme.com/ps4-news/10.html

 

So there you have it now some of this is speculation on my part and some is from official interviews with the man himself and according to him KH3 is the next title and the next title is in development and will be announced soon. So I guess we will see if I'm right yay if I'm wrong oh well I tried lol until then I will wait for DDD and enjoy it just like the other games until KH 3 comes out

 

Also there is this but warning SPOILERS

 

During the end credits letters appear with the characters and spelled out it says This Leads to Kingdom Hearts and then later it shows Sora and Riku walking in to a light and it forms a roman numeral III.

 

Also it says the past will be reawakend as a new number in never before seen detail prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number.

 

to me this means

 

the past will be reawakened as a new number (KH HD remakes will be bundled with KH 3)

 

in never before seen detail ( this will be the first time the series will be on a HD console)

 

prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number (Kingdom Hearts III)

 

END SPOILERS

 

Also a article from April 2012 , now this is before he announced that the next entry in the series was underway and would be announced soon but it clearly states it has been confirmed that he is working on both versus 13 and KH3

Wow. That's ALOT of valuable information! I thank you for sharing that with me, now I'm extremely excited!

[atheist123 583]

 

Bullsh*t. 100% bullsh*t. I know I should be nice but this is false... In the Nomura interview he says "two titles other than 3". And "the next title in the series". He has never confirmed that KH3 is in development, sorry (:

Wow I just got two bad bits of info, first I found out ff13v is not cancelled and now that kh3 hasn't even started development? UGH! fml

Always check the sources haha ;D It could be in development but Nomura has never announced it, even implied he is working on it (other than writing the story). There were a series of mistranslated interviews and one of which confused "working on two titles other than 3" with "two titles including 3"... I still believe its in development but there is no evidence for it haha Irrational belief, but one which is valuable in keeping my sanity I'm happy with ffv13 still being developed... as I made a pact 5 years ago that when ffv13 comes out I will buy a ps3

So far no more titles other than KH3 are announced all evidence seems to have it pointing it at KH3 being next the mystery game was cancelled and those two titles could of been refering to Coded or Re:Coded and KH3D for all we know as he said there is no BBS Volume 2 and no KH3D Final Mix.

The secret ending of KH3D seems to point to 3 being the next game, but Nomura has never confirmed it. Wait until TGS to see if he has secretly been working on it ;D either way we don't know and claiming that it is 100% in development, for no reason at all, is stupid...

Yeah lol I just got so excited when I read that I forgot to check if it was real...I'm an idiot lol

[UltimateKeybladeMaster 12]

Didn't I say this was all SPECULATION and THEORY? Thanks for discrediting hours of research I really appreciate it

 

anyway here is other bit of info I found its from the whole Versus 13 cancelled thing but oh well probably be called bullsh*t also

 

In addition to that, IGN’s Ryan Clements, spoke to Tai Yasue (the co director of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance) and Yasue mentioned Kingdom Hearts 3 was going to be the next game in the series Iknow IGN isn't great but its the only good thing I could find

I suppose you did say it was speculation But some of what you said was simply false. The part about Nomura saying they're working on the next title and they're ready to release information was true.... but the 2010 thing was false and Nomura has stated that he did not mean 3 is in production. It could be, as Nomura wouldn't want to repeat his mistake of announcing Versus too early but the evidence of 3 being next is still sketchy at best.

[UltimateKeybladeMaster 12]

all I was trying tp point out that Nomura isn't just going to tell us its in production, as knowing him he wants it to be a surpise but I wouldn't rule out any possibility that its already being worked on and I couldn't see any other game being next besides Kingdom Hearts 3 he did say its time for KH to return to consoles and I couldn't see any other title being more worthy than KH3 I just don't think its going to be the remakes since he did say next title also since BBS vol 2 was denied

[UltimateKeybladeMaster 12]

well just saw this a few ins ago looks like whatever nomura said they were working on and would be announced soon doesn't look like its going to be HD remakes

 

 

 

not really bothered by this since I didn't want a hd collection anyway heck all nomura said was he was interested in them he never said he was in fact going to make them
