"Kingdom Hearts 3" anticipation has been brewing since the release of the second installment in 2005. Series creator Tetsuya Nomura is excited and well aware of the hype surrounding the title, but told Famitsu magazine game development is far from finished.
"It seems like everyone was happy, so I'm glad about that," Nomura told the magazine, according to Silconera. "However, while we know how far we've come from a development point of view, what we showed still has 'ways to go'."
During the 2013 D23 Expo, Square Enix released a trailer showcasing the upcoming title. Nomura told Famitsu fans can look forward to Keyblade transformations in KH3, like the ones seen in the D23 trailer. (Watch the video below)
"In the trailer, we saw it transform into the shape of a gun, but there are also some other unbelievable transformations," says Nomura. He adds with a laugh, "The other day, when we were checking it out, the staff member said 'it turns into ____' and I impulsively replied with, 'Are you serious?'"
"According to suggestions from the planning side, it'll likely be used as some sort of gimmick. The Keyblade has infinite possibilies," Nomura added jokingly.
Nomura also explained to Famitsu how the updated battle system for KH3 works.
"The 'Attraction Flow,' allows you to choose moves according to different places and enemies, and especially so during boss fights where you'll be able to pull off unique moves," Nomura said. "This is an evolution of Kingdom Hearts 3D's Flowmotion, and will be one of Kingdom Hearts III's main systems."
"Kingdom Hearts 3" does not have a set release date, but is currently in development. The title will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
