Kingdom Hearts 3 Release Date: Game Cancelled? Square Enix Rumored To Explore Possibility Of Stopping Game Before Launch

Several rumors have sprouted in gaming forums speculating that Square Enix might cancel the development of Kingdom Hearts 3, the Latin Times reports.

And Square Enix developer Tetsuya Nomura says the development of Kingdom Hearts 3 is "still being debated" and that he has "no idea what characters or worlds will be seen," Auto-OMobile.com reports.

"Fan expectation for 'Kingdom Hearts 3′ is extremely high," Nomura said during an interview. "To respond to those expectations, I have to provide something really good."

But some believe Square Enix will move forward with plans to produce the game and is desperate to release it.

"Nope, Square Enix needs money. Kingdom Hearts 3 is potential money. Square Enix will make Kingdom Hearts 3 to make money," the source told Society and Religion.

"Of course nothing is ever set in stone and hey Square Enix could suddenly crash and burn or Nomura could die or something. Kingdom Hearts III isn't about to be cancelled, though."

In a list of 100 titles scheduled for release in the Playstation 4's first year, PS4Cheats may have subtly confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 3 could be coming before the end of 2014, Gameranx.com reports.
