The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted April 5, 2016 Hey there everyone, how's it going!? So then, as you are all undoubtedly aware of, we'll be getting Kingdom Hearts Unchained X this Thursday, which is an insanely awesome surprise, and a very welcome one at that! With Unchained X to finally be in our possession, we'll finally have a new KH game to distract us while 2.8 nears release! And well, on the subject of 2.8, something that Nomura said in the interview following the announcement of Unchained X's NA release intrigued me! For those of you who don't know, he mentioned that Back Cover's cinematic story will last for approximately an hour! You'll all probably ask why this is intriguing, correct? Well, take into account what he just said regarding Back Cover, and then take into account that Birth By Sleep 0.2: A Fragmentary Passage will be the length of a Disney world in the KH series, and the result is that 2.8 may not be too far off from us! Like, I could see a late October or early November release! Obviously, I don't think Nomura would intend for 2.8 to come out just before or just after Final Fantasy XV releases, for Square will want that game to sell like hot cakes! But back to the point though, for those of you who are doubting if the game will come out this year or not, I'm fairly positive we'll get the game either in late October or early November! Why is this, you ask? Well, the only big game that'd actually take some work to polish out is Dream Drop Distance, the obvious reason being that it's a full length KH game! And even so, the game's probably being polished graphically, and the gameplay mechanics are probably being revised and revamped to fit a PS4 controller! In other words, what I'm saying is that Nomura and his team's work would mostly got to KH3D, since that's the only full length game in 2.8! Since Back Cover is just voiceover work, I'm pretty sure that's one of the first things that was worked on in 2.8! At this stage in development, it could be safe to assume the English dubbing might be going underway at this same moment, or perhaps after E3! Because we could get an English trailer for 2.8 at this year's E3, most likely! And well, like I mentioned, 0.2 will only be the length of one world, so the only thing that would be worked on here are the gameplay mechanics and balancing and graphics and whatnot! Obviously, developing a game, even if some of its aspects are small, isn't easy, but taking into account with what we've been told about the game, I'm confident that it'll come out this year everywhere, and not just in Japan, only for us to receive it next year! So yeah, a late October or early November release sounds just about likely! Unless, of course, Nomura would drop the bomb at E3 and say the game would come out three short days later, a la Unchained X! Lol, but then again, that probably wouldn't happen! But hey, who knows? X3 But anyways, I wanted to empty all that out of my mind before I forgot to post it! So what do you all think? 1 Seyin95 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingdomHearts3 2,591 Posted April 5, 2016 I would October or possibly even before in August. It's supposed to come out in 2016, so hopefully that means worldwide in 2016. 1 The Transcendent Key reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ooh, it'd definitely be awesome if 2.8 had a worldwide release! That'd make 2.8 the first KH game to release worldwide at the same time! I hope you're right! Also, I didn't think about August! That could indeed be plausible! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KH3 should have the worldwide release like its sister FFXV. 1 The Transcendent Key reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
