'Kingdom Hearts 3' release date, news, rumors: Square Enix to adopt episodic style of release for 'KH3;' 'Wreck-it Ralph' to be included in gameplay

There are still no confirmed reports regarding the gameplay contents and features of the upcoming Square Enix game title "Kingdom Hearts 3." The next installment of the "Kingdom Hearts" franchise is expected to introduce new fantasy worlds straight from popular Disney films.

As for the possible release date of "Kingdom Hearts 3," it seems that the fans may have to wait a little longer before having the entire contents of the game. As reported by Gamepur, Square Enix is likely to adopt an episodic style of release for the next "Kingdom Heats" installment due to the expected huge size of the game. "Kingdom Hearts" game director Hajime Tabata revealed in an interview with Famitsu that there are plans to have multiple episodes for "Kingdom Hearts 3" to avoid getting the players too overwhelmed by a massive single game title.

However, there is a possibility that the episodic style of release for "Kingdom Hearts 3" will ruin the tempo of the video game's plotline. Aside from the possible multi-part game, it is likely that "Kingdom Hearts 3" will have an online multiplayer feature, although Tabata has not yet confirmed that detail yet.

The possible storyline of "Kingdom Hearts 3" will revolve around Sora and his comrades gathering the seven guardians of light to defend the universe. Specifically, Sora aims to defeat the villainous Master Xehanort and his new Organization XIII before they can even corrupt the entire universe, Yibada reported.

Meanwhile, a Reddit user named DChinBlaster speculated that Disney's "Wreck-it Ralph" will be one of the featured worlds in "Kingdom Hearts 3," as it is rumored that Sora will be using a special kart move based on a popular character from the said Disney animated film.

Meanwhile, a new rumored gameplay feature has been teased in "Kingdom Hearts 3" as username DChinBlaster claimed that Sora will have a kart move based on the Disney animated film, "Wreck-It Ralph".

According to Game N Guide, "Kingdom Hearts 3" will be released sometime next year, possibly after the release of the HD game titles of the franchise early 2017.
