Kingdom Hearts III's Release Date May Be Revealed Next Month

It’s never been easy to be a fan of the Kingdom Hearts franchise. All the series titles are wonky, there are various unnumbered games that while unnumbered are still vital to the overall story, and worst of all, the numbered titles are practically fictitious until they actually release. Luckily, we may actually be pretty close to a release for the final numbered title: Kingdom Hearts III.

Last night at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour in Los Angeles, series director, Tetsuya Nomura took to the stage to shed some light on the upcoming sequel. When he took center stage, he stated(via a translator) that he would return in a month to the D23 Expo on July 15th. While at D23, Nomura promised to reveal what he dubbed “final information” on Kingdom Hearts III.

We don’t know what the final information is going to be, but fans are presuming it to be a release date. We already knew there going to be at least some Kingdom Hearts III presence at the expo from watching yesterday’s trailer, so it wouldn’t be a terrible stretch. Fans are assuming that this will lead up to a possible March 2018 release similar to when other Kingdom Hearts games have been released. If it doesn’t amount to a date, then 2018 might be the first year in six years without any major addition to the franchise.

Fingers crossed for a bit more information during Sony’s E3 press conference later today. Square Enix has a track record for revealing information while Sony is center stage.

While waiting, you can try enjoying the rest of Kingdom Hearts again on PS4 via Kindom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix which collects almost the entire Kingdom Hearts series except Dream Drop Distance. You can find Dream Drop Distance alongside Kingdom Hearts X on the disc for Kingdom Hearts .02 titled Kingdom Hearts 2.8. I would recommend catching up, before Kingdom Hearts III releases, there’s a lot to go over.

Ubisoft says that future Assassin’s Creed games will need more time to be made

Published

on

As Assassin’s Creed Shadows is about to sneak up on people in November, Ubisoft says that the time between developing games needs to be longer to find the “right balance.” Shadows has been in development for four years, longer than any other game in the series up to this point. That includes the huge open-world epics Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Shadows lead producer Karl Onnée (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz) says that the latest AC game took 25% longer to make than Valhalla. He says this is necessary to keep the quality of the series that it is known for: “It’s always a balance between time and costs, but the more time you have, the more you can iterate.” You can speed up a project by adding more people to it, but that doesn’t give you more time to make changes.

Onnée says this has as much to do with immersion and aesthetics as it does with fixing bugs and smoothing out pixels. This is because the development team needs time to learn about each new historical setting: “We are trying to make a game that is as real as possible.” We’re proud of it, and the process took a long time. In feudal Japan, building a house is very different from building a house in France or England in the Middle Ages. As an artist, you need to learn where to put things in a feudal Japanese home. For example, food might not belong there. Get all the information you need and learn it. That process takes a long time.”

You’ll have to wait a little longer for Ubisoft to work on each game. Are you okay with that? In what part of Shadows are you now? Is it interesting to you? Leave a comment below and let us know.

You can now pre-order Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP on PS5

You can now pre-order Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, a remaster that Dragami Games and Capcom both created. You can now pre-order the PS5 game on the PS Store for $44.99 or £39.99. If you have PS Plus, you can get an extra 10% off the price.

The company put out a new trailer with about three minutes of gameplay to mark the start of the pre-order period. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a remaster of Grasshopper Manufacture’s crazy action game from 2012. You play as Juliet, a high school student who fights off waves of zombies.

The remaster adds RePOP mode, an alternative mode that swaps out the blood and gore for fun visual effects. It also adds a bunch of other features and improvements that make the game better overall. You can expect the graphics and sound to be better as well.

The game will now come out on September 12, 2024, instead of September 12, 2024. Are you excited to get back to this? Please cheer us on in the section below.

This Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 zombies trailer is way too expensive

Published

on

Is there really anyone who is following the story of Call of Duty’s zombie mode? We’ve known about the story in a vague way for a while, but we couldn’t tell you anything about it. It looks like the “Dark Aether” story will continue in Black Ops 6, but we don’t really know what that means.

For those of you who care, here is the official blurb with some background: “Requiem, led by the CIA, finally closed the last-dimensional portal, sending its inhabitants back to the nightmare world known as the Dark Aether, after two years of fighting zombie outbreaks around the world during the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War timeline.”

Wait, there’s more! “Agent Samantha Maxis gave her life to seal this weird dimension from the inside out.” Even worse things were to come: senior staff members of Requiem were arrested without a reason by the Project Director, who turned out to be Edward Richtofen.

Black Ops 6 will take place about five years later, and it looks like it will show more about Richtofen’s goals and motivations. The most important thing is that you will probably be shooting an unimaginable number of zombies in the head. This week, on August 8, there will be a full reveal of the gameplay, so keep an eye out for that.
