If there’s anything that has been learned from Kingdom Hearts fans it’s that if there’s news it needs to be reported, no matter how insignificant it might seem. After waiting through an entire console generation, and suffering through a ton of DS and PSP offshoots, fans are starting to get impatient, and apparently Testuya Nomura is well aware of that.
In an interview with Nomura for the Kingdom Hearts 3D Ultimania guid book, the Square Enix guru revealed that progress has been made with several new entries in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Even more exciting than that, Nomura hints that the developer might be gearing up for a reveal some time soon.
E3 2012 is just around the corner, and while Sony has a wealth of exciting new first and third party titles to reveal, they could probably use a little something from Square Enix to get the fans truly excited.
Unfortunately, no mention is made of whether or not this will finally be the Kingdom Hearts 3 (not 3D, not Birth by Sleep, not 358/2 Days) that fans have been waiting for, but we sure hope it is. While the interstitial titles like the aforementioned Birth by Sleep and 358/2 Days did well enough to shed some light on the events running concurrent or pre/post Kingdom Hearts 2, they still weren’t what the fans were clamoring for.
It’s almost like Square Enix knows exactly what they want from fans, yet somehow they decide to deliver the complete opposite. Actually, that’s exactly what they like to do.
If Square Enix does decide to reveal any news about a forthcoming Kingdom Hearts rest assured that we’ll be there to report it, and if it is some sort of alternate reality card-based fighting game, we’ll be happy to share in your disappointment.
Is it about time for Square Enix to finally announce Kingdom Hearts 3 or have we not suffered enough yet? Aside from KH3, is there any storyline you are interested in exploring from the franchise?

I wouldn’t mind an HD collection.
hell ya an hd collection would be great but make it for 360 also so everyone can have fun
true that! id love it for the 360, and also not having KH3 be a PS4 exclusive, i really dont want to buy a console just for one game
Wow, “suffered”? That’s a pretty harsh word to say about legitimately good games, especially Birth By Sleep which many consider to be better than the PS2 games. Kingdom Hearts “fans” just love to whine.
I love Kingdom Hearts but having to buy new hardware for each game in the franchise is ridiculous. They just need to keep the series on consoles where the majority of gamers are then I wouldn’t mind if they had fillers and spin offs.
1 2 and birth by sleep were the only good kingdom hearts games that came out the rest were just crap and were just tiny stories that we could do with out … these games are the types of games that should have been made after the main story line games were made. we are not getting whinny we are just sick of the games that S.E. literally craps out. we want a game were you can play for hours nonstop and not get bored. the ds kh games cant really do that for us who want to hear more about sora. not just some minor character.
They weren’t just crapped out. BBS, Days, and coded were announced simultaneously as a single project intended to expand the story of KH and experiment with what they could do on different platforms. And I thought while the gameplay was lacking in Days, the gradual development of the three main characters and the leveling system was really good. And after Roxas was given so much focus in KH2 yet had literally no impact on the story at all, it was kind of nice to get a little more background. And in Re:coded, while the story was…well crap really, the gameplay was a lot of fun and I found myself playing for hours.
I bet it’s Birth by Sleep 2. In the final mix secret ending of BBS it has a line at the end saying “Birth by Sleep Vol. 2″ after a few clips of things. Dream Drop Distance also hints at this.
Tetsuya Nomura confirmed it is not Birth by Sleep 2
A message at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3D states
“The past will be reawakened as a new number
In never-before-seen detail
Prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number”
Sounds like Kingdom Hearts III with HD remakes included to me. The next number is obviously 3.
If that’s true, if 3 came with the HD remakes of 1 & 2. That would be the best deal of any video game.
Hell yeah brother
Yes! This would be so amazing!
A Kingdom Hearts HD Collection, just say it, visualise it, now go to your bathroom and lock the door….. ;]
What’s a Guid book?
for how long this game is taking…it better be one of the best games ever!!
