News > The Next Kingdom Hearts Won't Be KHIII

May 4, 2007

Tetsuya Nomura of Square-Enix has made it known that the next Kingdom Hearts game will not be a direct sequel to the series.  Instead, it will be another story based off of the Disney/Square-Enix -themed Kingdom Hearts universe.  He explains:

"It is not Kingdom Hearts III, but it is an anecdote... I want to explain what Mickey did in the World of Darkness, and also how he got his keyblade... I want to make this [new project] slightly different from the Kingdom Hearts' series, and change the system a little... The multi-developing makes me want to put it on something else... If we follow this idea, it would be hard to choose if to make the game for the "PSP", "NDS" or the cell phone."

Hopefully it's NOT for the cell phone, and hopefully it isn't a half-assed attempt to use the Kingdom Hearts brand.
