It has been 11 years since the release of Kingdom Hearts 2, which was arguably the best game in the series thus far. We've seen trailers and even gameplay videos of the upcoming (hopefully soon) game but Square Enix still has yet to announce a release date. Do you think that this could be the year we see a release!? What's your favorite Kingdom Hearts game, I thought it was cool how Disney sorta teamed up with Square Enix and that Disney characters are a large part of the game. My favorite was probably Peter Pan's world in the original game.

The last Kingdom Hearts game Square Enix released was Dream Drop Distance on the Nintendo 3DS which was back in 2012. While this was a great game, it left me wanting more. I liked how the game introduced TWEWY characters, and I could see them in the next game as well. Also, it was interesting that DDD was on Nintendo 3DS, so could we see Kingdom Harts 3 on a Nintendo console besides the PS4?

I wish it was this year. I need something to play on my PS4. lol The library isn't really interesting to me at the moment, yet I have one anyway. Couldn't pass up a $299 bundle, you know?

I would love to see Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts, btw. Hell, even some other Disney stuff that they haven't touched yet like Atlantis would be awesome.

I hope not, I'd rather play other games this year because a game like Kingdom Hearts deserves some decent hype and development time. I still remember when Nomura said that he wanted to make three games on the PSP, DS, mobile phone, and then FF versus XIII before he'd make KH3. The first three are already out (BBS, 358/2 Days, Coded) with remakes along with the extra DDD. That still leaves versus XIII or what is now called FF XV. I'd rather play that first before KH3.

Glad to see someone agreeing with this =D
I'm on the same boat, there's literally NOTHING interesting at the moment =D If DRIVECLUB didn't have crapload of DLCs I wouldn't turn on PS4 for months =D But 2016 should be a good year :)

Of course it won't be out this year...why else do you think they've cobbled together that Final Chapter Prologue thing? It's to give fans something to tide themselves over until next year, when they might just release it. Square Enix are too busy announcing that they're going to announce FFXV's release date (which will probably get pushed back at least twice to a different date once it's been announced, so they'll have to announce when they're going to announce the revised release date from the originally announced one) to worry about KHIII this year and, being the huge company it is, they couldn't possibly multitask and release more than one big game at a time, because that's madness.

tl;dr Don't hold your breath.

There's no way it's coming out this year and even if they did manage to squeak it in by the end of the year, it would only come out in Japan and it would still be next year before the localization came out. Assuming FF15 comes out this year, which Square Enix claims is still going to be the case, they won't want KH3 competing with it. And even without that, they aren't going to release KH3 before KH2.8 and they still haven't shown us much of anything from 2.8 besides the 3DHD. So the earliest we're looking at is early 2016 and that's probably when FF7R volume 1 comes out and they probably don't want it competing with that soooo... god, who knows?

I don't really mind though. I don't have a PS4 and don't feel inclined to get one juuust yet so I don't mind waiting a bit longer. I'm still far more interested in 2.8 right now (Aquaaa!!!) so they can take as long as they need. /shrug

Also, technically it's really only been 10 years, not 11. The 10th anniversary just passed in Japan about a week ago but it still hasn't passed here, where KH2 came out in March.

Last year I was certain we'd get a Q4 2016 release, but it's looking more and more like we're going to get a 2017 release. We haven't even gotten a firm release date for 2.8, other than that it'll be out some time in 2016. Nomura said earlier this year in an interview with Dengeki that the release date is already decided, but in said interview he also said that they'd have "more information on November 3rd" so...who knows.

I don't mind it taking however long it takes though, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm happy with what we've been getting in the interim while waiting for KH3 (i.e. KH 1.5, 2.5, and now 2.8 which is coming this year). As long as I've got a steady stream of new Kingdom Hearts games to play, I'm satisfied--for now at least xD
