Possible KH III release dates and how Nomura can keep both his promises

[Isamu Kuno 2,512]

Okay, so I can see a several possible release years for KH III and I've worked out how Nomura can meet them while keeping both the "One game a year" plan and the "No new games 'till KH III" promise.

 

2015- Simply do no more and release KH III here. This is highly unlikely, bordering of impossible

2016- If he makes a third collection consisting of the three Nintendo games in playable format, or if he ports a 1.5+2.5 collection to the PS4 he can make this deadline.

2017- If he doesn't make a third collection, but ports 1.5 to the PS4 next year and does the same with 2.5 in 2016, ore makes a third collection then ports all three in one the following year he can release KHII then

2019- If he makes a third collection next year, then ports one collection every year after that, then KH III can come out at this time.

 

Personally I don't see it coming any later than 2018 but to do that he'd need to deviate form the "one game a year" plan

It will come 2016-2017

If it did 2015, then Nomura could release it on the 13th anniversary of KH1.

i feel like he will release KH 3D on the consoles like they did for Chain of Memories for the PS2 for 2015then for 2016 release 1.5/2.5 for the PS4/xbone? then we might hopefully get it in 2017. we still need to wait for FF15 to be finished/released  

[Kodakliv 558]

I see a 2016 release date for everyone! I see a FF15 release date next year. As he stated that FF15 will be out long before KH3

He won't do it on it's own. In Japan, Re:CoM was the "+" in "KH2 FM+". It was only America that got it separately. EU and PAL regions never got it at all until 1.5 iirc.

Point being, if he does remake 3D for the PS3, which is entirely possible, it will most likely be included with at least one other game.

I think that KH3 will be released in early 2017.

[Kodakliv 558]

i kind of agree with you or late 2016.

[The_eternal_nothing 586]

Im guessing an RE Dream Drop Distance and then maybe a next gen port

[Minato arisato 253]

It will come 2016-2017

If it did 2015, then Nomura could release it on the 13th anniversary of KH1.

i did theory on that i was predicting that square would release it on the 13th anniversary of kingdom hearts but i'm being optimistic. your probably right about 2016- 2017 for the release.

But that in a way would make sense considering how much the franchise uses the number 13.

 

For Example:

• Kingdom Hearts has 13 letters
• M is the middle letter in "Kingdom Hearts" and is the 13th letter of the alphabet
• Organisation 13
• 13 vessels of darkness
• Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced in 2013

​and many more. 

 

Because of this it wouldn't surprise me if Kingdom Hearts 3 did release next year.

No you're not.

I'm always confusing what the heck is then KHX seems like a new game to me. And it is linked to KH3.

Or we must still get then Re:KHX otherwise Re:DDD. One of them will probably be for PS4.

The only canon part of Chi is the Foretellers note, which isn't really all that connected to the story if Chi itself, and it's connection to KH III kind of redundant. Here's a link to a translation. http://kh13.com/news/45406-fortunetellers-script-from-kingdom-hearts-x-translated?page=1

Yes. And that seems important to me or more players who doesn't have any idea about the foretellers.

I have already read of them in wiki but it would be still nice to see them in story.

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

Half Life 3 Confirmed

 

 

-Sorry

Plot twist: Half Life 3 HAS been confirmed lol

 

but I feel like if next year he ports either one or both of the HD collections that will just be a cop out I'm ok with not getting a Kingdom Hearts game for a year if it means it will make Kingdom Hearts 3 come out the following year.  but if he dose want to keep his promise with a KH game every year then maybe they could possibly release a collection of the DS games for PS3 or even PS4. but we will have to see what they plan to do with KH in 2015 as much as I would like Kingdom Hearts 3 to come out that year it seems very unlikely so maybe at Jump Festa we will get something but probably not.

Not saying it's not important, just saying it's the only important thing about the game so It's not really necessary to play it. And it's sort of redundant because we already know there's another Keyblade war brewing. The only thing it says that we didn't know at the time is that it seems to stat that Sora and the others are going to loose, just like the recent KH III trailer did.

I hate when some people are negative with the release date..... Just wait and don't speculate more release dates....

I'm not being negative or speculating, I'm just stating what Nomura has to do in order to keep true to both his previous statements. If anything I'm being realistic.

Well didn't understand much about the information we get. But wasn't that just some bluff?

Or it just some other time in the past.

I basically say here http://kh13.com/forum/topic/75876-wait-so-the-seven-lights-are-going-to-lose/?p=1445992 That it seems like a bluff , red herring, or set up for a defying fate thing, but with Nomura he may have given us the truth disguised as what we'd assume it was something like that

That would be funny if it did release next year, and they did confirm at E3 that KH3 is in full swing right now. But I'm still going with late 2016 just because KH games take at least 2-3 years to make.

Re:coded and 358/2 Days playable? LOL. Nomura has already said it would take the time of making a whole new game. Aka they would have to remake it. And quite simply that would delay Kingdom Hearts III and take much more than a year. This "one game a year" idea someone made up doesn't exist.

"Someone" meaning Nomura He said it in an interview after Days coded and BbS were revealed

And it wouldn't delay KH III, they'd have Osaka work on it.

Osaka is the team developing Kingdom Hearts III. The KH team is still developing FINAL FANTASY XV.
