Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the culmination of every Kingdom Hearts game that has come before it, and while that is leading to a very intentional story, its developers are open to expanding the game with DLC after launch.

Speaking at E3 2018, Kingdom Hearts franchise director Tetsuya Nomura told IGN he wants to have post-launch content in Kingdom Hearts 3. But, don't expect any concrete announcements of what that DLC could be just yet."In this day and age, most major titles do have some kind of content releases after their release," Nomura told IGN via translation. "So since I considered Kingdom Hearts 3 to be one of those major titles, I do want to have something to add to your enjoyment of Kingdom Hearts 3, so maybe you could continue to play a little longer than release, but we haven't really thought of anything in detail yet."And though no concrete plans have been made, Nomura did suggest one possible piece of post-launch content could be something like the return of a mechanic featured in Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue . During the 0.2: A Fragmentary Passage section, players could customize Aqua with different accessories.Kingdom Hearts 3 won't feature that mechanic, especially considering Sora, Donald, and Goofy's outfits are normally bespoke to the world they're in. However, Nomura is open to the idea of that feature returning down the line.

"We don't have any customizability that you did have in 0.2 in Kingdom Hearts 3," Nomura said. "...The development team does need some kind of extra time on their hands to be able to do something like that. Because we are so busy trying to complete Kingdom Hearts 3, we just don't have any time to do that right now. But I think there is potential to maybe do something like that after release."Speaking of 2.8, as well as the combined Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix collection, both of those titles are unavailable on the Xbox One, where Kingdom Hearts will be appearing for the first time on a Microsoft console. When asked about whether Xbox One players could look forward to getting those collections, Nomura said "not at the moment" but didn't completely rule out the possibility."We obviously would need to discuss with Microsoft if we are to do this or not, but we haven't even started the conversation yet. So just not at this moment," he explained.Also during E3, Nomura also spoke to IGN about Kingdom Hearts 3's delay into 2019 following the KH3 release date announcemen t and the reveal of two new worlds, Frozen's Arendelle , and The Caribbean of Pirates of the Caribbean
