Square Enix has been on fire with Kingdom Hearts 3 footage at Tokyo Game Show 2018. During a lengthy stage event, however, the developer showcased a rather interesting clip featuring Aqua (from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep) and series protagonist Sora. Seemingly corrupted by the Darkness, Aqua is a boss battle for our intrepid hero. Check out the short segment below.
The last we saw of Aqua was actually in Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage. Included with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Aqua’s journey through the Realm of Darkness is revealed as she battles Heartless and seemingly does everything possible to avoid corruption. However, despite King Mickey seemingly rescuing her, it doesn’t seem like Aqua escaped unscathed.
Regardless, it seems like Aqua will join Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their quest to gather the seven guardians of Light to battle Organization XIII. Kingdom Hearts 3 will release on January 29th, 2019 for Xbox One and PS4. Stay tuned for more information in the meantime.
