'Kingdom Hearts 3' to Feature New Disney Characters? Release Date, Gameplay & Rumors Here!

It is believed that new Disney characters would be featured in the upcoming "KIngdom Hearts 3" game.

Cross Map in its report last February said that it is very likely that Square Enix would come up with a fascinating mix of characters in its upcoming game, probably adding Elsa (from the movie "Frozen"), Darth Vader (from "Star Wars"), and Iron Man (from "Avengers") to the list.

Other characters who are being eyed in the new game installment are Snow White and seven dwarfs, Mulan, Peter Pan, Tarzan, Simba, and Captain Jack Sparrow. A separate Cross Map report has also mentioned other characters such as Captain America and Rapunzel. Meanwhile, Movie Pilot's Kenny McDonnell has requested for "Big Hero 6" characters in the game.

Designer Tai Yasue however chose to be mum regarding character and world speculations saying (via Cross Map), "I can't really go into any specifics or say anything about Star Wars, but when we come up with worlds we really want variety and to make sure that there's a lot of different types of worlds."

"Kingdom Hearts 3" director Tetsuya Nomura has also talked about these new characters in a Gematsu report. "We've been getting in some orders for prospective characters. Since there are a lot of characters from derivative works following Ramza, we're looking to select characters from numbered titles that have not yet appeared. Personally, I'm pressing for (Final Fantasy II's) Minwu."

Aside from that, Nomura has also teased fans telling them that they would be able to see more about the new game in the upcoming D23 Expo in Japan this November.

"We have some interesting things planned. There will be 'Kingdom Hearts 3' news, and various things, I think. Development on 'Kingdom Hearts 3' is going smoothly, but there will also be new announcements connected to it. As one of those new announcements, I think we should be able to announce a smartphone-specific development for the series in short order," Nomura was quoted in the report saying.

As regards the possible new worlds, Hypable has come up with six Disney Worlds which according to the outlet were based on fans' wishes. First on their list is Manhattan, New York since it is the home of many huge characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, and The X-Men. Next is Highlands, Scotland which is the setting of the Pixar movie "Brave". Next is Game Central Station, Litwak's Arcade from "Wreck It Ralph". Then there's Arendelle, Norway from the hit movie "Frozen". Also included were Lucky Cat Cafe, San Fransokyo from "Big Hero 6" and DS-1, Despayre from "Star Wars."
