Disappointment! Kingdom Hearts 3 release date rumors come to a close

There’s been a little bird (cough cough, Bill Farmer, the on-going voice actor for Goofy in the KH series) responding to a fan’s question on Twitter about the release date of Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts III with:

we have been recording on it for the last few years. It is supposed to come out later this year.

Hence, there has been many responses to this statement, mostly skeptical and shocked responses. Ultimately, the Kingdom Hearts community seemed to be confused due to the fact that most of us could pretty much predict that it was highly unlikely we’d get KH3 in 2015. To further include to my defense, Square has yet to reveal any gameplay or images outside of the E3 announcement.

So get this, Square Enix USA went to Twitter to put this rumor and subject to rest, along with calling Mr. Farmer out on his statement. Here’s what they said:

This would be one of those times where I’m  99.9% sure that we wouldn’t see this game this year, but I would hope someone would tell me I was wrong. Well, with all that being said, I wonder what to expect going forward.

Anyway, there you have it, how disappointing. Your thoughts?

Kingdom Hearts 3D quite possibly HD Remastered

Can this be? Has Square Enix been listening and considering our prayers? This time around, that might be the case! We might be looking at a Remake (or Remastered) Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance; originally made for the Nintendo 3DS which was originally released in July 2012. Director Tetsuya Nomura openly mentioned that his company is seriously considering giving Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance the HD treatment on modern consoles. Which means we might be looking at this as well sometime after Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix is released.

Now to what I think: This game particularly received such good ratings/reviews, I believe that’s what mainly gave Square Enix the opportunity to even consider this proposal. But I can’t leave out that Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5/2.5 Remix were both successful and that kind of look can really motivate the company to push this idea even more. So here’s to hoping! This subject is in development and I will definitely be keeping my eyes and ears open. I’m so hyped!
