After five long years of waiting, we finally have a release date for Kingdom Hearts 3. It will release on January 29 2019!

To clarify, Japan will be getting the game on January 25th, 2019. 

The exciting news was announced at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra Concert in Los Angeles via an exciting trailer that showcased new Disney characters and some new pieces of the story. Nomura went on to state that they will be showing more at E3 next week!

More information will be expected to be flowing in from E3 so remember to follow Kingdom Hearts Insider on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr for the latest updates on Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross], Kingdom Hearts 3 and all things Kingdom Hearts!

Shame it got pushed back to 2019 but I'm just happy we finally know.

Dang now i'm going to have to put my Playstation 4 on Hold till next Year

 

[Cyborg009]

i'm a bit miffed that it got delayed, but who cares we finally got a release date!

 

[meep2meep]

I'm fine with it getting pushed to early 2019... except we now should actually get a demo.

 

[Launchpad]

Like I said before, this is likely due to a larger polish being requested by early players. This is a good thing, but...

It stinks too. We all got hyped last summer with that 2018 reveal. Ah...

 

[Perkilator]

Erm, not to be ungrateful, but…

On a separate note, shall I have my name changed to Jerkilator now, despite getting Kairi and Lea at the Orchestra right?

 

[UltimaXOmega]

All the people who said it wouldn't get delayed. That destroyed my hype. Oh well, back to Overwatch.

 

[Zettaflare]

So on a separate note are we not getting the trailer shown at the Orchestra until E3?

I'd rather it get delayed than have a bunch of content cut and put into DLC.

I'm a bit upset that it releases 4 days earlier in Japan, though.

It just gets worse doesn't it lol.

 

[Alpha Baymax]

OH MY DAYS, I LIVE IN THE TIMELINE WHERE I KNOW THIS GAME'S RELEASE DATE!

 

[Sdog]

We finally know! A bit later than expected but we know! I'm hoping it is time well spent to tweak gameplay and other factors from the feedback of the premiere event.

 

[UltimaXOmega]

So the YTers whining got the game delayed? Sigh.

Still a chance of getting it tonight. They confirmed there'll be a few trailers this week!

 

[Sonicfan2525]

Look, i'm just happy to know when it's releasing. Granted it is disappointing that it's releasing next year, but it's only been delayed by a month or so. It isn't like we're waiting till next fall or anything.

I'm just dreading all the people on Twitter and Facebook being like "HAHA TOLD YOU IT WOULD GET DELAYED".

 

[Gambler]

I'm actually fine with this.

I can wait longer. No biggie.

 

[Beamer]

Honestly, I'm not really upset by the fact that it's been delayed. It's only 3 months later than we expected so really it's fine. Avoiding spoilers for 4 days is gonna be tough though.

Why people are griping about it on twitter is beyond me. We've waited 5 years (most of which I will guarantee were spent in pre-production) we can wait 3 more months....

 

[Launchpad]

Japan getting it early is caca poopoo peepee butt

 

[DizneyXBirds95]

A little saddened that Kingdom Hearts III got delayed to 2019, but no big deal. In fact, when compared to 2.8 which the latter got delayed to avoid competition from Final Fantasy XV in sales, here it was to refine polishing the graphics of the game and removing bugs from the fan feedback during the demos at the KH3Premiere event last month.

Can't wait for the trailer to come out during E3 and what new Disney worlds and characters were revealed.

Please let there be Frozen, Tangled, Jungle Book and Big Hero 6 characters shown in the new trailer.
