KINGDOM HEARTS III was featured at the Future of FINAL FANTASY event just now and our very own Sign was right there at the event, feeding us information.



After tons of FINAL FANTASY announcements, the CEO of Disney Interactive John Pleasants came on stage with new Square Enix CEO Matsuda to discuss KH3. They announced that in this game, Sora will finally be more mature, with Donald, Goofy and Mickey being featured along with new Disney worlds. It was also made clear that the Osaka team, responsible for Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, is developing the game.



Following this, they announced that KH3 will also be arriving on the Xbox One, alongside the PS4. There will apparently be no plans to make other KINGDOM HEARTS titles available for Xbox platforms, meaning that the HD collections will most likely stay PS3 exclusive.



Producer Shinji Hashimoto was next up on stage and wanted to clarify matters with PS4 fans, adding that this is the first time they've revealed a game for multiplatform, rather than later announcing it. "Please understand" he added. Asked about a potential Wii U port and Pixar worlds, he couldn't comment anything about that.



Finally we got story details for KH3, confirming that it will be all about the clash between Master Xehanort and the guardians of light: "Believing light and darkness must remain in balance, Master Xehanort seeks to spark war against the tyranny of light to restore equilibrium. In an effort to undermine Xehanort's plot, Sora, Donald and Goofy search for seven guardians of light and the Key to Return Hearts, while King Mickey and Riku search for previous Keyblade wielders. KINGDOM HEARTS III features a mature Sora as the main protagonist who sets forth on an adventure with Mickey, Donald and Goofy through new and legendary Disney worlds. KINGDOM HEARTS III will make full use of next generation console technologies to showcase a stunning universe packed full of worlds based on Disney properties."
