Will there be a Kingdom Hearts III?

It’s currently unknown whether there will be another game named “Kingdom Hearts”, but Tetsuya Nomura has stated there will be a “New Series” as a side-story to Kingdom Hearts.

When will Kingdom Hearts III (or the next game) be released?

Also unknown. The next game should be announced at the Tokyo Game Show 2007.

What console will it be on?

A Square-Enix Marketing Manager claimed it would be on PlayStation 3. Tetsuya Nomura has said he’s looking into making it multi-platform, but is uncertain yet. As Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ has been confirmed to be Nomura’s last game for PlayStation 2, any future games will NOT be on PlayStation 2.

Who is Tetsuya Nomura?

He is the director and character designer of the Kingdom Hearts story. He created the story and concept of Kingdom Hearts, and is the only source of information regarding anything to with the Kingdom Hearts story.

Who is Yoko Shimomura?

She is the composer and arranger of all the Kingdom Hearts music.

What are Chasers?

We don’t know yet. Dictionary.com’s definitions from the American Heritage Dictionary are:

chas·er 1
Noun

1. One that chases or pursues another: a chaser of criminals.
2. A drink, as of beer or water, taken after hard liquor.

chas·er 2
Noun

1. One who decorates metal by engraving or embossing.
2. A steel tool for cutting or finishing screw threads.

We have no idea whether this would mean that Chasers are the people who created the Keyblades, people chasing something, or something else entirely.

Are Aqua, Ven, and Terra Chasers?

The theory is that they are, but it is completely unknown.

Who are Aqua, Ven, and Terra?

They are the three knights seen in the Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix Secret Endings. Their names mean “Water, Wind, and Earth” respectively. (Kairi’s, Sora’s and Riku’s names mean “Sea, Sky, and Land” respectively.) Aqua is the blue-haired girl. Ven is the one who gets frozen. Terra is the Enigmatic Soldier, known officially as the Lingering Spirit in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, and is the tallest of the three knights. We’ve found that he hates Xehanort in Sora’s battle with him in Final Mix, yet he is also “Master Xehanort’s Avenger”.

Where can I see the secret endings?

I will be re-uploading them to the site in future. They were removed by FileFront previously. For now, you can see low quality versions on YouTube.

Who or what are the “Lost Two”?

Completely unknown. We’ll have to wait and see, but they could be almost anything or anyone.

Why were Sora’s, Riku’s, and King Mickey’s Keyblades there?

Tetsuya Nomura’s answer was “It’s to show that those three armoured people aren’t them but that doesn’t mean they don’t have connections.”

What’s the “Keyblade War”?

Kairi’s Grandmother’s Story about a Keyblade War was a fairytale according to Nomura. He also said “The words “Keyblade War” that showed up in the middle were to implicate that there were fights between Keyblades.”

Who is the old man in the Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Secret Ending (“Birth By Sleep”)?

That is completely unknown. Tetsuya Nomura has said that all characters in that secret ending are in some way connected to currently known characters, but that’s all we know.

What are the names of the Secret Endings to Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+?

The fan-name of the Kingdom Hearts II Secret Ending was “Sunset Horizons” as that was the name of the track of the music in the background. However, the Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Ultimania book has now revealed that the name of the Kingdom Hearts II Secret Ending is “Gathering” and the name of the Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Secret Ending is “Birth By Sleep”.

I’ve found the Kingdom Hearts III cover! Right?

Wrong. Considering Kingdom Hearts III may not even be created, nor has production been started on the games, the game cover does not exist yet, nor is there confirmation of what console it may be on. The most common FAKE cover is shown to the left with the FAKE name “The Keyblade Wars”. People have tried to post a News Post claiming that it’s the cover many times - Please stop. One obvious giveaway that it’s not the cover is that it says “Kingdom Hearts II” on the side of it. There are many other obvious flaws. I believe it was created in Adobe PhotoShop.

At the beginning of the year, Square-Enix confirmed they had no plans to release the Final Mixes outside of America after Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine spread rumours about it being released in Fall 2007. These are JUST rumours. Later in the year, a Square-Enix Marketing Manager claimed that there will be a surprise for America and Europe later at the end of this year. This isn’t confirmation of anything, but also someone from the Square-Enix Public Relations Team mentioned that the large amount of fans contacting them for them to be released in America, Europe and elsewhere is not going unnoticed.

Why are my comments not showing on this site?

If there are any links posted in your comment that link off this website, the comment is automatically counted as Spam. As we get hundreds of Spam messages a day, we can’t go through every one working out which are actually Spam or not.

How do I register on KingdomHearts3.net?

There’s a “Become Staff!” link in the links to the left.

I’ve registered to the site, and I’m trying to post a News Post, but it won’t show. Why is that?

All News Posts have to go through moderation, usually by myself, before they can be posted on the front page of the site. If they don’t have correct spelling and grammar I will not be posting them. If they’re not news or information of some relevance, I will not be posting them. Just yesterday there was an attempt to post a message “i love kh!” - Nothing else, just that. Make sure your News Posts are detailed if you want them shown. If you find your News Post has disappeared, it’s because I’ve deleted it. There are a few still outstanding, and if your post has yet to be deleted, it’s because it might be placed elsewhere on the site rather than as a News Post.

Oh yes, if you just copy and paste directly from another site, it’s very unlikely that’ll be posted. If you do copy, make sure you credit that site and write a bit about it yourself.

If there are anymore questions, please post them in comments. This is all I could think of for now. Most answers about the future of Kingdom Hearts are shown in the Summary of Kingdom Hearts Interviews News Post.
