KINGDOM HEARTS III

We are now -checks watch- just five days away from the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. For some of you, that still probably feels like an absolute eternity on top of the three eternities you already had to wait. For everyone else, it'll be just another Tuesday.

However in the here and now, Square Enix has a new gameplay overview trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 to share with you all today. This new video shows you the first look at the Gummi Ship and how you can modify its speed, shield, firepower, and design. We also get a look at some retro-inspired minigames that pull their inspiration from 1980's era LCD games and "iconic Disney animated shorts."

As the Heartless invade the universe, players must prepare Sora and his friends to protect the Disney and Pixar worlds against darkness and unlock the mysterious power of the Keyblades, which only the strong of heart can wield. For the first time in the KINGDOM HEARTS series, the Keyblades have the ability to transform into different forms with powerful new abilities and dazzling attacks inspired by the characters and elements of each world.

Players can also learn how to use elemental magic for offensive and defensive purposes, such as creating ice slides and wind vortexes to navigate through the chaos in battle. Taking the form of classic Disney rides, players can utilize the power of the Attractions, or team up with Donald, Goofy and other legendary characters from Disney and Pixar worlds to turn the tides against the darkness.
