Nothing is off-limits for the upcoming Square-Enix/Disney crossover according to Tai Yasue (co-director and game designer on Kingdom Hearts 3) and that includes Marvel and Star Wars being a possiblilty.
“Well, yeah. They’re all under consideration,” he said. “Nothing’s off-limits, we’re considering all of the worlds. There are so many wonderful concepts. We’re happy about that, but at the same time it’s really tough to choose.”
Disney has expanded greatly since the first game and then exploded when Kingdom Hearts II was launched, which is leaving people to wonder just what will Kingdom Hearts III bring?
“Yeah, I can’t go into specifics, but there’s a LOT of new Disney stuff and we have our plates full,” said Yasue. “Theres a lot to consider - we’re looking at all of Disney, the new ones as well, they have a lot of pull and draw.”
“We have to come up with a world that has a lot of originality. We want variety in our new Kingdom Hearts, so we don’t want too many of one sort of world, that would look the same. For each world there has to be some meaning for it, in the plot; in Birth By Sleep, for instance, in the Cinderella scene, the characters learn something specific by relating to Cinderella. Also, gameplay-wise, is that world something that would make gameplay fun? There’s a lot I can’t say, but there’s so much to consider.”
Since there is still no official release date, fans of the Kingdom Hearts series are just going to have to wait a little longer.
