Kingdom Hearts 3 Xbox One, PS4 Release Date NOT In Spring 2014: Rumor Refuted By Square Enix Origin, RPG Still In Early Development Stage

There are rumors currently filling the news stream pointing out that Kingdom Hearts 3 Xbox One, PS4 release date is already fixed for spring season of the coming year.

According to The Gamer's Drop, this unofficial news started when an apparent Square Enix 'insider' started leaking to the public that Kingdom Hearts 3 release date was already set in Spring 2014. However, no matter how exciting this buzz can be, not everyone supports this speculation about Kingdom Hearts 3 Xbox One, PS4 release date.

Enix Origin created a post calling the rumor "absurd" as it shares strong reasons why Spring 2014 is not a realistic Kingdom Hearts 3 release date. Denis Advic from Enix Origin wrote, "There is absolutely no way Kingdom Hearts 3 will be released in 2014 due to the fact that it is in extremely early stages of development."

Another reason Advic provided is that Tetsuya Nomura, the game director of Kingdom Hearts 3 is "taking the time to promote the new Final Fantasy XV, a game he wanted to create for the longest time."

Furthermore, in an interview with Famitsu held June of this year, Nomura explained, "Since the release of Kingdom Hearts II, I believe that many fans were feeling impatient due to our continuous releases of spin-off titles, so we decided to announce it at the same time as Final Fantasy XV. However, looking at the current development status, I think we may have announced it a little too early."

The action adventure RPG is reportedly set after the events of the Nintendo 3DS title, Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance that was launched on July 2012.

Reportedly, Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the final title for the "Dark Seeker" saga, which started when the very first Kingdom Hearts game was launched on PlayStation 2 more than 10 years ago. The game will be available for next-generation gaming consoles like Sony PS4 and Xbox One.
