{Spoiler} Plot line:
Sora will once again be the protagonist of the game. The game will also see the return of Riku, Donald Duck, Goofy, and King Mickey, as well as the inclusion of familiar Disney characters. Continuing from Dream Drop Distance, Sora, Donald and Goofy will attempt to search for seven guardians of light and the “Key to Return Hearts,” while King Mickey and Riku search for previous Keyblade wielders, in an attempt to stop Master Xehanort’s plan to balance the light and darkness.
The game will feature new and familiar worlds based on Disney properties. It will be the final chapter of the “Dark Seeker” saga Directly after E3 2013, Tetsuya Nomura claimed that Kingdom Hearts III was announced “too early”, based on where the game currently stands in development. He continued by saying, “Many fans were feeling impatient due to our continuous releases of spin-off titles, so we decided to announce it at the same time as Final Fantasy XV”.
Good thing too! It’s time to go back to our Disney roots and enjoy a little fantasy.
