When Kingdom Hearts 3 launches – whenever that is, as of right now we barely have a release window for the game, let alone a release date – we will finally see the end of the story that started with the very first Kingdom Hearts more than a decade ago. That means no more bullshit spin offs or cliffhangers- fans who have been waiting to see how the story ends all this time will finally know come next year.
“There’s a lot of strings and a lot of strands in the previous Kingdom Hearts,” Director Tai Yasue said to GamesBeat. “They all come together. Right now we’re depicting the Dark Seeker saga, with Xehanort and his group that Sora’s battling. Them and the other Keyblade masters will have a sort of showdown. And so I think all the — everything is going to come together at the conclusion of the Dark Seeker saga in part III.”
After the fans’ extraordinary patience – over a decade of waiting, and a near infinite number of ‘required reading’ spin offs, all spread across multiple different platforms – I would sure hope that an ending to the story is on the cards here. If not, then I would be very, very displeased, had I been a Kingdom Hearts fan.
