About a month ago,Kingdom Hearts 3director Tetsuya Nomura admitted he believes that the sequel wasannounced too early, even though Square Enix did so in order to prevent leaks and rumors from happening. Nevertheless, Nomura also said that development for the the forthcoming action-RPG is now moving along well, and as a means of paying homage to the character that has helped facilitate theKHseries, the sequel has now released a new promotional trailer celebrating 90 years of Disney’s mascot Mickey Mouse.
As seen in the trailer below,Kingdom Hearts 3fans are taken on a trip throughout the life of Mickey Mouse, and his evolution that has occurred within Square Enix’s popular action-RPG franchise. Considering the fact that the character debuted as a hand drawn black and white rodent in Walt Disney’s 1928 American animated short filmSteamboat Willieand has now transitioned into an international icon is definitely remarkable to say the least.
As of now, Square Enix hasn’t released too much in the way of promotional wares that detail how Mickey Mouse will fit into the overall narrative ofKingdom Hearts 3, but it is known that Mickey and Riku traveled into the World of Darkness to try and rescue Aqua from Master Xehanort’s control, but were too late. For those who want to see the scene in action, they would do well to dig into theFrozenworld trailerreleased last month during E3 2018.
Mickey’s role inKingdom Hearts 3aside, it’s safe to say that plenty of fans are still waiting for Square Enix to offer up even more details about the sequel as a whole, especially since Tetsuya Nomura recently suggested thatfootage of theBig Hero 6world could be coming soon. Of course, withKH3currently slated for release early next year, the publisher and developer still has plenty of time to fill fans in on all that’s to come.
Kingdom Hearts 3is set for release on August 04, 2025 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
