A brand new trailer for Kingdom Hearts III, has been released during Microsoft’s E3 presentation! After much anticipation after the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra - World Tour in Los Angeles last night, Microsoft was thrilled to announce that Kingdom Hearts would be coming to Xbox One for the first time before delivering the trailer. Kingdom Hearts III will release January 29th, 2019 in North America and Europe and January 25th, 2019 in Japan! As seen in the trailer above, Anna, Elsa, and friends were shown for the first time, revealing a Frozen themed world for the new game. The trailer also included a cast of characters including first time appearance of Simba who was previously a character and summon in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II! This is also our first time getting a look at Larxene in the new Kingdom Hearts III engine, featuring in the Frozen world. This was one of many surprises, including an appearance of Aqua at the end of the trailer plagued with yellow Xehanort eyes! Are you excited for this fully-loaded trailer?

Ah! This is such a good question. It's a longstanding tradition in my household to watch E3 press conferences live so we usually take a few days off, host parties, etc. 2013 is probably one of the most memorable for many reasons, but I just remember sitting in my apartment with my wife (then girlfriend) streaming it on our laptop. A trailer for Versus XIII emotionally fades away into Final Fantasy XV, which already had us heightened and immediately after, Nomura comes out and says he has one more thing to share with everyone and it was the reveal for Kingdom Hearts 3. I still get teary-eyed thinking about that experience and it won't be one I'll ever forget!

In a tweet thanking those who attended the KH3 Premiere, @SquareEnixUSA confirmed that they will be providing fans and attendees of this years Electronic Entertainment Expo with the opportunity to play Kingdom Hearts III at their show booth! E3 2018 will be held in Los Angeles, California from June 12th-14th! Square Enix hosting their own press conference June 11th at 10pm PT which will be streamed in both English and Japanese!
