Updates from Tokyo Game Show 2018
The Last Chapter of the Dark Seeker Saga
During Tokyo Game Show 2018 Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced to be the final chapter of the Dark Seeker Saga (Xehanort Saga.) The game focuses on the journey of Sora leading up to his final battle against Master Xehanort. However, Kingdom Hearts 3 will not be the last game in the series, as Sora’s journey will continue in future installments.
Keyblade Transformation
In this game, the keyblade can transform into different kinds of weapons such as a hammer or a yo-yo. The player can activate these transformations with just a press of the right directional button during battle.
Techniques based on a movie
The image above shows a technique that reproduces a famous scene in Frozen. Players will be able to use this and other tecniques taken from other Disney films and shows.
Activate Attraction Flow
Attraction Flow is a new technique that Sora and his party can perform based on theme park attractions. Some of the names of these techniques include “Magic Carousel” and “Mad Tea Cups”.
The Evolution of Collaborative Attacks
In Kingdom Hearts 3, Disney characters will be able to join Sora as a summon/link or as a temporary party member. As a party member, the guest character can perform various collaborative attacks with Sora. The picture above shows a co-op attack where Sora gets on top of Baymax to execute unique aerial attacks.
The Power of Links
The Link System replaces the Summon System in Kingdom Hearts 3. The system revamps the skills of various Disney characters, adding more flare to their attacks. In the image above, we can see Simba infused with Fire, which allows him to burn enemies to the ground.
New and Improved Gummi Ship
The Gummi Ship now has two modes: Battle Mode and Search Mode. In previous games, you had to use the Gummi Ship to travel between worlds. In Kingdom Hearts 3 you will also be able to search for material while traveling by using the ship’s Search Mode.
