News ► Kingdom Hearts III Release Date Should Be Coming "Early Next Month"

[Chaser]

Unfortunately the release date for Kingdom Hearts III was not given during the Kingdom Hearts III Premiere, however Eurogamer claims that Nomura promises the date should be coming "early next month".

There was no firm release date announced at the Kingdom Hearts 3 Premiere event, but Nomura's official statement was that an announcement should be coming "early next month," so, probably just before E3. Nomura continued, "Kingdom Hearts 3 is a title with many people working on it, so we are making final adjustments, but we are pretty firm on a certain date so we hope to reveal it next month." And as far as we can tell, they're sticking with a 2018 window, so if we were to guess, we'd say a November release date is looking fairly likely at this point.

No doubt Eurogamers claim of "just before E3" refers to the Los Angeles concert which takes place on June 9th! Hopefully attendees at the concert will be treated to the release date.

A few days ago, SE released the report on the fiscal year (or something similar, I don't remember correctly), and in it, the games for 2018 seemed to be listed in release order (the release date of KH3 was not listed, but all the other games had theirs listed). Going by that, KH3 seems to release after the new Tomb Raider, meaning that July 13th (which would have been nice) seems not realistic. I personally think it might come out around November.

At least we'll find out very soon.

November 13 99.99%, it will be perfect.

Yeah was actually joking because i know how people feel about that date lol and how incredibly unlikely it is and how some people are just so adamant about it.

I mean, isn't the Square Enix Showcase also technically just before E3?

 

[Sonicfan2525]

Not surprising. The showcase or concert is the perfect place to reveal the release date.

 

[Squall Strife]

I used to be a believer for July but since the release of Hikari's album is set for late July, I'm going with August now. Although July 13 would have been a great date to release it.

 

[Phantom]

Glad to hear we'll get to know it soon. I've been waiting to hear it quite a long time now.

 

[Recon]

As expected of course. E3 will reveal everything hopefully (more worlds, collector's edition, box art, release date).

There were alot of probablys, maybes, possiblys, and just all around really ugly words in that statement. Come on Nomura, haven't you enjoyed our pain long enough???
