We’ve announced the release day for KINGDOM HEARTS III ahead of E3 at the KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour-. I’m sorry that we’re asking for a little more time than initially planned. Please look forward to other information, including a few trailers at E3. Thank you. @Nomura

Nomura noticed that the characters didn't have enough zippers and belts, needs a couple months to revamp every character design.

This is actually good, November is packed as is.

It is?

I'm wondering who made this decision. Was it SE who wanted space between DQ, or Disney who said stuff needed to be cleaned up.

[Adajer]

I dont get it.

I understand wanting too dodge the huge fall line up of games coming out. But waiting til 2019 makes you completely miss holiday season. The end of January is like middle of no where in terms of game launches. So if you aren't going to be launching at an advantageous window, why not just delay until a better window? Can at least get more dev time. Should have said Spring 2019. Something during tax season I guess.

Im calling another pushback. Game better not be buggy on launch.

Plenty of games launched in January/February or "off season" and managed to sell a lot. One of them was Horizon: Zero Dawn and that was a brand new franchise.

Personally, I find the whole "off season" schtick to be bullshit. Whether it's a movie or game, if it's good, it'll sell. We're largely beyond the days of winter snowstorms cutting off people from civilization for weeks. If it's crap, it doesn't matter if it was sold during the holidays, tax season, or whatever, it won't get many sales. Only real thing that sways either category is the advertising campaign that follows. KH doesn't have to worry about that because you know SE/Disney will be spamming the fuck out of it and probably even try to milk some kind of christmas pre-order deal.

Yeah was about to bring up Monster Hunter World and Dragon Fighter Z

[chazzyphizzle]

digital downloads have made any sort of release season talk obsolete yeah? if somebody wants a game, they will get it and wont even have to leave their house to do it

[Elizara]

All I can say is.. PREORDER POUNCE! I just preordered it on Amazon; I was waiting for a real release date. Shame it wasn't in November-December like those in the know were predicting, but I guess I get a treat next year. ^^

Gives me more time to catch up on backlog and maybe get a couple more games I was wanting, so not mad at all!

Nice trailer at the Xbox conference

The end is probably just and illusion

LARXENE!!!!! <3
Also, that ending with Aqua better not be fucking true...

[Vaspinne]

I'm sure there will be some sort of redemption story bit. Riku was lost to darkness too and etc, etc.

[silverdragontyr]

You're awful Aqua...


Great trailer. Really looking forward to play this next decade.

[Elcura]

Fuck that dark Aqua is awesome, I'm still into all of this.

[Jeryhn]

Fuck yeah! Kingdom Hearts 3, Holiday 2019!

This is the part where I remind you all that I fucking called it in page 1 of this thread.
