Check Out ‘Kingdom Hearts III’ In Action In This Latest Trailer!

Square Enix has been relatively silent about Kingdom Hearts 3 ever since its teaser reveal at E3 this year. Aside from a shot of Sora surfing on a sea of Heartless, that’s all we had to go on. But questions still remain, like how will it play? What will the this third game bring that hasn’t been seen before? How will it look on upgraded hardware? Thanks to a new trailer at the first ever Japanese Disney D23 convention, we have our first glimpse at these answers.

Overall, the game doesn’t look too different, (not that we’d expect them to make huge overhauls to a multimillion seller,) but watching Sora bashing Heartless with his Keyblade looked as reliable as ever. While much looked the same, (including same enemies, familiar environments and animations,) the spells shown seemed more useful, attacking all enemies in the area instead of just the targeted foe.

Spell improvement isn’t the only change shown, seen towards the end where Sora seems to summon amusement park rides to attack enemies. Whether these are part of the stages, an extension of the Flowmotion environment attacks from Kingdom Hearts 3D or actual summons is yet to be seen, but at least there’s work going into making the sequel more than just the same old thing.

If anything, it’s good to finally see KHIII in motion. It only took about eight years, right? Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments!
