Kingdom Hearts III director Tetsuya Nomura has commented on the future of the franchise.
In an interview with the LA Times, Nomrura talked more about Kingdom Hearts III and where it stands in the franchise:
There was never a plan. As a core game, this is finally the third, and 10 years have passed. I couldn’t call this a trilogy. There have been so many spinoffs. In ‘Kingdom Hearts 3,’ the battles that the characters have been fighting for the past 10 years will come to a conclusion. That is the plan. But the series will continue. Only the particular enemy they have been fighting the past 10 years will come to an end.”
It sounds like Sora’s journey in the Kingdom Hearts franchise is coming to an end in Kingdom Hearts III. This does not mean numerous other Kingdom Hearts games won’t be released in the future.
Fans are actually lucky Kingdom Hearts III is actually going to be released on the PS4 and Xbox One. The whole PS3/Xbox 360 generation never received a Kingdom Hearts game at all…
